PREFACE.
The present volume carries on the Register of Fellows
to the period of the expulsion of the royalist members
of the College in 1648. Seven Presidents fall within its
scope, Harding, Langton, Frewen, Oliver, Wilkinson,
Pierce and Gierke ; but with regard to two of these there
is little to be said which is not already known. Of other
Fellows the names of four stand out above the rest,
Ashley, Winwood, Heylyn and Hammond. With regard
to Sir Ralph Winwood and Peter Heylyti scarcely
anything can be added to their well-known biographies.
But of Robert Ashley there will be found a full narrative
which I have abridged from his own v^ry minute manu-
script autobiography (with further details than in the
abstract supplied in the Dictionary of National Biography) ;
while with regard to our special ornament of the time,
Henry Hammond, I have been able to add some interest-
ing particulars from sources outside the College. .
The next volume will comprise intruders upon the
College of two very different classes, of few of whom is
there any account to be found In Dr. Bloxam's volumes,
because only a small minority had been before their
intrusion members of the foundation. Of those appointed
by the Parliamentary Visitors and their successors some
were men of learning and piety, who hold no undis-
tinguished places in the roll of our members, but of
those who for one short year were reckoned as Fellows
in 1688 there are but two or three who have left more
behind them than their mere name to be reported.

Vi PREFACE.
Several cases of modified ' intrusion ' will be found in
the present volume as in that which precedes it, caused
by the exercise of the arbitrary claim of the Crown to
a power of nomination, disguised under the milder term
of 'recommendation'; but none of them exhibit such
open violation of law as at length at the close of the
century put an end to like invasions.
It is perhaps necessary to remind some who may have
occasion to refer to this continuation-series, that with
regard to that large majority of Fellows who were pre-
viously Demies or in other ways members on the Foun-
dation, I have not repeated such particulars as are already
given in Blozam's volumes. The accounts furnished by
him must therefore in such cases be always consulted in
conjunction with those found here.
The Inventories of Plate given in the Appendix afford
the first published academic record of the kind. Although
in the older of these lists are found the only memorials
of many gifts made subsequent to the Restoration, which
in the wear and tear of years have been lost, yet the list
of such donors' plate as is still preserved and used extends
through well-nigh two centuries and a half, and affords
much material that is of interest both to the genealogist
and the herald. It was the custom for the wealthier non-
foundation members of the CoUege, members of a class
now (not unhappily) extinct, the Gentlemen-Commoners,
to present a piece of plate on matriculating or on leaving
( — leaving in the majority of cases after a year or two of
University life without graduating—), and much of our
present store testifies to such origin. But much also
testifies to gratitude and deep affection, affection touch-
ingly and beautiftilly expressed by Dr. Thomas Johnson
(' annos xxvii O quam dulces socius,' p. 233) in his pious
wish 'O cara Domus, Deus Te servet' {p. 239). For
this complete catalogue, and for the careful and minute

description of the coats of arms, I and the whole Society
are indebted to our brother-fellow and accomplished
herald, Herbert Wilson Greene, B.C.L., who devoted
many days and hours to this real labour of love In my
own undei^raduate dasre, now some fi%-five years ago,
I noted down all the inscriptions on any pieces of plate
which at any time came to my room, and, with these few,
scanty^, and rough memoranda still lying by me, I contem-
plated the compilation of a list, but, as the extent of the
task opened out, I soon found it was one which I could
not myself at all hope to accomplish ; and then, fortu-
nately, there were far better hands ready to take it up.
Among the projected works of the Oxford Historical
Society a Catalogue of all the College Plate in the Uni-
versity finds place; it may be hoped that the beginning
here made will hasten the fulfilment of the proposal.
An explanation of a puzzling entry in the extracts given
in my first volume from the Bursars' Accounts, p. 30,
under the year 1500-1, may be here inserted. The entry
described the value of 17 sheep that had died of murrain
in 1499-1500 as twenty-four shillings and a penny, and
that of 607 in the following year as five pounds and six-
pence. In consequence of this being noticed in a review
in the Spectator the late distinguished Professor of Geo-
metry, Mr. J. J. Sylvester, wrote to me to point out that
the figures '607' afforded an example of an error in
numeration sometimes found occurring at the time when
Arabic numerals were just beginning to take the place
of Roman, '607 ' being simply a mistaken way of writing
'67.' The values then are found to work out at one
shilling and fivepence for each of the 17 sheep and one
shilling and sixpence for the 67.
To the authorities mentioned in the Preface to the
preceding volume as having been consulted, I have only
now to add the Rev. G. L. Henness/s Register of all the
OMzcdoyGoOglC
parochial clergy in the diocese of London, published in
1898, and entitled Novum Repertorium EccUsiasfkum
Parochiale Londinense ; a second Newcourt's Reperlorium
in character but no mere second edition of that great
book ; an original compilation from records, the fruit of
laborious research such as belonged to a past age rather
than to an age of popular manuals, a book of permanent
value for biographical use and reference.
The pleasant duty remains of acknowledging my con-
tinued obligations to Rev. T. V, Bayne for frequent
access to wills in the University Archives, and to Rev.
H. A. Wilson for unfailing help throughout the whole
progress of the book.

white parchment, by the care of Rev. W. A. B.
Coolidge,

Liber CotnpuH, 1582- 1614, The foUo paper day-book from
which the parchment accounts were made up. The
first year is imperfect, as well as 1590, 1591, 1594,
1595, and 1614; and 1583, 1584, 1588, and 1611 are
entirely wanting. Bound within recent years in full
calf, tooled. In this book are memoranda of the
leases granted in the several years, and of presenta-
tions to livings, with the fees paid for them.
Liber Computi, 1606-1621, wanting the years 1607 and
1608, which are, however, found in the preceding
day-book ledger. The leaves containing the year
1621 are very much mutilated by damp. Bound in
white parchment within recent years, by the care of
Rev. W. A. B. Coolidge, but wrongly entered as
ending at 1620.
From 1622 onwards the accounts are in separate volumes
for each year.
Registrum Admissorum, 1616-1678. A parchment volume
containing forty-five leaves, of the largest quarto size,
bound in black tooled calf. The first entry is attested
by Thomas French, of the diocese of Oxford, whose
notarial symbol is three circles intertwined, with the
motto ' Implicitse virtutes.' Two entries in 1617 are
attested by Roger Jones, dioc. Oxon., whose symbol
is his name and the initials 'ii[ofarius\ Viubltcusl within
a fancy border, encircled with the motto, ' Unus Deus,
una Veritas, unum verbum. Anno Domini 1617,' Then
from that year (and also for three entries in 1616) to
1641 William Yalden, of the diocese of Chichester,
is the notary, and notarial signs are discontinued. To
him succeeds in 1645 George Nodes of the diocese
of London, in 1647 John French, dioc. London, and,
after a blank interval of thirteen years from 1647 to
1661, Edward Houghton, dioc. Oxon., for the years
1662-1678. Unfortunately this volume differs from
its predecessor in simply recording the admissions of
Demies and Fellows, without specifying, untilthe year
1676, how the vacancies occur, by what resignations
Digitized by Google
or by what deaths, and gives only three complete
lists of Fellows, viz. of those existing in the years
1676, 1677, and 1678. After entries in July, 1647,
three blank pages follow ; these are succeeded by the
order of the Committee of Lords and Commons for
the ejection of President Oliver and admisMon of
Wilkinson as President on 29 Feb. 164I; and then
no further entry is made until 11 Jan. 166^.
Up to the year 1641 the counties for which the Fellows
were elected are not specified, blank spaces being left
for subsequent insertions; and thence onwards the
birth-county or diocese is mentioned, which seems to
show that the Fellows were then statutably elected
according to their place of birth. The earlier part
of the volume is written by no very clerkly hands
upon coarse parchment, and some of the leaves are
stained by damp.

1574. The following entry was overlooked when the extracts
printed in our preceding volume were made :
' Solutum feciali [set/. Richard Lee] insignia Collegii de-
pingenti, ex consensu seniorum, xlv».'
1576. The account for this year is found only in the rough
Ledger. The bursars (R. Inkforbie, C. Gregory and S. Cole)
get into disgrace with the form of their accounts, and the
following order is consequently made. ' Quia ex longa consue-

4 EXTRACTS FROM THE [1576
On this there follow twenty strict orders in English, dated
Dec, 23, for regulating the serving of commons, invitations of
strangers, payments to the bursars, and College expenses.
There was a formal visitation by the Bishop of Winchester in
this year, of the proceedings at which no record is preserved.
But the notice of his intention to visit, dated June 30, and the
citation, with a list of all who were summoned, dated Nov. 10,
are entered in Ledger F, ff. 265*', 27a. Probably the orders
above noticed may have been a partial outcome. This visita-
tion is mentioned in vol. iii of Bloxam's Register, pp. 126, 283.
For the following transcript from the Bishop's Register at
Winchester I am indebted to the great courtesy of Mr. Baigent ;
it proves that nothing is to be found there of the particulars of
the Visitation, although it records that certain injunctions were
duly delivered in writing in the following July.

' Sol. Wilson, musico, pro musica in aula in festo Annuncia-
tionis Mariae, x". Cheirothecae pro Episcopo Wintoniensi,
V. vj^.' The Bishop's visitation this year cost £15 12s. id.,
besides 13s. 4rf. to his apparitor. But with regard to other
expenses the year was, like the last, a year of economy.
Up to this year (from 1573) the Hebrew lecturer was the
famous German scholar John Dnisius, who had entered at
Merton College, and was Hebrew lecturer there. He was
succeeded in 1577 by Philip Bignon, who continued in office
until 1580. The latter was a French Protestant refugee, who had
taught Hebrew at Cambridge in 1572-5, and had been recom-
mended by the Crown for election to the professorship there.
Cooper, in his notice of Bignon in the Athenae Canlabr., vol. i.
p. 349, says that nothing is known of him after the year 1575,
and we in turn fail to trace him after 1580.
1577, July 29. Leave of absence was granted to the whole
College until the end of September ' propter pestem grassantem ' ;
the weekly allowance for the time, to be for Fellow i6rf,. Demy
&d., Chaplain 164., Clerk lorf,, Chorister 6rf. The whole sum
amounted to £25 155. grf.
Sept. 7. Leave of absence to all the officers for one year for
their own affairs was given by themselves, to be taken at such
times and in such portions as they might severally choose.

Some other proceeding occurred on the same day of which
the record, occupying eight lines in the register, has been
rendered entirely illegible by a carefiil outpoming of ink over
it. Several Fellows were exp>elled by the Visitor in this year
(see in preceding volume under H. West and J. Barebone,
PP- iSSi i88)r and possibly this entry may have related to
proceedings against them.
1579. A bequest was left by one Robert Woodby to the School
at Wayneflete, which is thus entered in the V. P. Reg. among
the memoranda of 1671, at p. 172. ' I give and bequeath to the
President and Fellows of St Mary ME^;dalen's College in Oxford
an annuitie or yearly rent of fourty shillii^ for ever towards the
improvement of the stipend of the Schoolmaster of the Free
School of Wainefleet, and for noe other use or purpose, to be
payd out of my lands both in Wainfleete All Saints and Wain-
fleete St Mary's, which I bought of William Tupholme of Boston,
at foure severall times or termes, [viz. ten shillings at Lady Day,
St. J. Bapt., Mich., and St. Thomas]. And if any part or parcel)
of the annuitie shall be unpaid at the termes prefixt, it shall be
lawfull for the President and Fellowes, or their assignes, to
enter upon any of the premises to distraine, levie, and drive
away,' &c.
On May a four weeks' absence was granted to all the College
'iwopter pestem.'
The accounts for this year are very imperfect and only exist
in the rough day-book, and there are but few entries in the
portion which remains. On the first leaf is a fragment of
a memorandum of an agreement that £6 135, [41/.] should be
spent [in hiring horses ?] to ride [to meet ?J the Queen. This
must relate to the Queen's visit to Woodstock in 1575, when
President Humphrey made an oration in his capacity as Vice-
Chancellor.

to the same feast and also to the performance of some drama.
The Queen's College dinner-horn custom may illustrate this.

The accounts for this year are very brief, and apparently
imperfect
1581. A fine copy of the edition of St. Augustine, printed by
Froben in 1529 in ten volumes, was given to the Library 'ex
dono magistri Parkhurst, Cicestr.' This must have been the
Robert Parkhurst, Vicar of Washington, Sussex, who is noticed
in the first volume of this Register, p. 171. The book is now in
my own possession. It appears to have been taken out of the
Library, as not needed when later editions came in, and lay in
the garret of Dr. Edw. Ellerton, Librarian, until his death in 1851.
It was then sold with his own books by auction, and was purchased
by Mr. Graham, bookseller, in High Street, Oxford, from whom
I bought it. It would ere long have been destroyed by a multi-
tude of bookworms, of the number and ravages of which I gave
an account in Notes and Queries, second series, vol. i. p. 143.
1589. The accounts are very imperfect. A good deal of
planting was done at Shotover; two shillings and twopence
were p)aid ' pro 1,250 plantis,' and fifty-seven shillings and four-
pence to men ' operantibus circa novam sepem apud Shottofer
per 53 dies.'

Many rents are entered in the account of receipts as being
paid in com, some 'secundum novum statutum' and some
'secundum vetus statutum.' The fuw statute was that of
18 Eliz. (1576) cap. 6 [see p. si, note\.
On Dec. a& one month's absence was allowed to all the
College 'propter pestem Ozonil grassantem ab initio regni
Eliz. sereniss, p[r{ncipia].'
1583. The accounts are wanting.
1584. Feb. 3. All the clerks are sconced of commons for one
day because on the day before, the feast of the Purification, ' in
prandio male et inconcinne cum omnium offensione cantabant.'
And in Oct two of them (Bowman and R. Smith) lose their
comnrons for a day because by their absence ' supf^icaOones
omittebantur.' If this refers to the Litany it appears to show
that the custom for two clerks to chant the Litany (which in
my time of choral duty was generally sung by a chaplain and
one clerk) was then observed.
The plE^e was zffan in Oxford in the summer, and on At%. i
leave of absence was given to all the fellows until Michaelmas,
and for one month to the demies.
At this time the Vice-President's Register is dated according
to the reformed Gregorian Calendar, and not according to the
English use, and consequently agrees with the new style.
This has not been perceived by some who have used the book
and annotated it, and many mistakes have been made by post-
dating the year ; e. g. this year 15841 being so headed in
January, has been assumed to be really 1585, The change
was doubtless occasioned by an attempt then on foot to procure
the adoption of the new s^le, which led to the introduction of
a bill for the purpose into the House of Lords in March,
The accounts for 1585 are headed in the paper Liber Com-
putt *A. D. 1581^, Januarii primo,* and the new style is used up
to 1597, which is marked at the beginning ' an" 97 juxta comput

But then again after 1600 the new style reappears, and is con-
tinued to 1606. Dates consequently are often perplexing and
uncertain.
The accounts for 1584 are wanting.
1585. The great event of this year was the Visitation held
by Bishop Cooper, following on the complaints made against the
President in this year with a view to the visitation *. Notice of
it was sent on June ai, and the citation was dated July i. Copies
of these documents, with a list of all the members and servants,
are in Ledger G. S. 129'', 131. The Injunctions which followed
upon the inquiry are dated Oct. i7lt. Those which relate to
the School are printed by Dr. Blozam in vol. iii. of his
Register, pp. 131-3 ; and those which relate to divine service
and the administration of the Holy Communion (in which
severe censure is passed for carelessness and irreverence) in
vol. ii. pp. bucviii, 339-40 ; the remainder are as follows, pre-
ceded by a prefece plainly implying general blame for neglect
of the statutes : —

century, marked as ' No. 35 ' in some Tonner collection. Among the College

de Scholaribus eligendis, ut is pro electo habeatur in quern vel
omnes consenserint, vel duo saltern alii electores cum Praesi-
dente ; ne posthac discerpant et distrahant suffragia sua, ita ut
per gratiam liceat cuique quern voluerit, sua quasi vice recurrente,
nominare. Quae ratio longissime abest a sensu et animo Funda-
toris, et electionis integritatem corrumpit et contaminat. Quod
si compertum et comprobatum fiierit aliquem ex electoribus
directe (ut loquuntur) vel indirecte per se vel per alium suf-
fragium suum vendere, vel pretiutn aut muiius pro sua electione
accipere, eum judicamus juramenti sui violatorem, famae et
existimationis propriae contaminatorem, et dedecus et igno-
miniam Collegio contrahentem et concitantem. Ideoque et
a nobis et [a] successoribus nostris cum ejusmodi homine
agendum quemadmodum cum indigno qui pii et benigni Funda-
toris liberalitate in hoc Collegio fhiatur. Huic vulneri medendo
et infamiae delendae praecipuam curam adhibere oportet Praesi-
dentem, cujus, ut per Statuta in hujusmodi causis merito maxima
est authoritas, ita et integritatis studium praecipuum esse debet.
Quamobrem in visceribus Jesu Christi (ut Statuta loquuntur)
oro et quaeso, et pro authoritate Visitatoris mando et praecipio,
ut omnem in hac causa diligentiam adhibeat, quo pristina
eligendi integritas reparetur et resUtuatur. Si cui Socio vel
Scholari constitutum fiierit a Collegio discedere, vel si authori-
tate parentum et amicorum avocatus fuerit, praecipimus et de-
cernimus ut per Praesidentem, Vice-praesidentem, et alios quibus
per Statuta facultas eligendi conceditur, summa diligentia pro-
spiciatur ne qua pactio confletur cum eo qui in locum ejus
successurus est. Quod si accident, et eum qui discesserit
perpetua ignominia notandum arbitramur, et eum qui ex pactione
pecuniam solvere consenserit, sive hoc fiat per se sive per
amicos, indignum judicamus qui vel in Socium vel Scholarem
hujus Collegii eligatur, eamque satis amplam et justam causam
arbitramur propter quam omnes qui favent dignitati Collegii
sufTragia sua subtrahere et possint et debeant, ne contaminentur
eorum conscientiae aliorum scelere et probro. Statuit enim
Fundator, et saepe admonet sui consilii et propositi fiiisse, ut

monentur Socii ut in electionibus et admissionibus Scholarium

praecipimus et authoritate visitatoria mandamus ut iioc statutum
et decretum Fundatoris diligenter observetur. Imprimis vero,
ut constitutus Iiabeatur Humerus eorum qui oriundi ex comitatu
Lincolniensi, ubi prius ille Wainfletus et ipse natus est et satis
amplas postea possessiones ad sustentationem illius CoIIegii
procuravit. Qui hoc illius institutura in electionibus n^ligunt
merito judicentur ultro se crimine perjurii obstringere et obli-
gare.
'11. Constitutum etiam sit et decretum ut in electionibus
Scholarium et Sociorum ordo praescriptus in Statutis accurate
observetur; hoc est, ut primo in loca vacantia eligantur Semi-

graduati vel Scholares admittantur in annum probationis ; po-
stremo eligantur qui digni et idonei habebuntur in perpetuam
CoUegii societatem. Nee istae electiones confundi et miscen
debent, neque ex composite difierri, ne aperiatur fenestra fraud!
et astutiae illorum qui ex electionibus vel resignationibus quae-
stum suum quaerunt, non Collegii decus et dignitatem. Ideo re>
sig^ationes intempestivas nulla ratione admittendas judicamus.

ut qui Praelector sit vel Theologiae vel Philosophiae designetur

On June 22 twenty fellows were by the President and Vice*
President deprived of their commons at supper on account of
their absence from evenii^ prayer the day before. And on
Oct. 28 nine fellows and four demies were deprived of commons
for a time not specified for absence from both morning and
evenii^ prayer.
In this year absence was again granted on Aug. 7 to all the
fellows until Michaelmas, and to the demies for a month. As
no special cause is assigned, we may probably see here the
beginning of the allowance of the Long Vacation. But in the
following year the cause for like leave is said to be 'frumenti
caritas,' and in 1587 ' annonae caritas et veris nimia caliditas.'
Aug. 8. — Summers, M.A. (apparently Henry Somers or
Summers, of Ch. Ch.), admitted CUricus ComputisxA Auditor.
The accounts in the bursars' paper-book begin with a long
list of old debts due to the College (repeated in the following
year), going back to 1564, many of which were for batells. The
total amount is about £400. It appears from an entry in the
payments that one of the choristers waited as a servitor upon
the clerks and college servants : — ' Sol. Choristae inservienti
clericis et famulis, 5". 3^.'

amounts spent on bread and beer in each term, the weekly bills
of the manciple, &c.
1587. The accounts for this year are only in rough form in
the paper Liber CompuH, and of the next year there is only one
leaf of rough memoranda. Fifty-seven shillings and fourpence
were paid to ' mag. Garbrand ' for two books for the Library,
viz. 'pro commentario in libntm Sapientiae et pro chronicis
Anglicanis.' The commentary is that of Robert Holcot, or
Holkoth, printed in 1586 ; the Chronicles, Commelinus' collec-
tion printed at Heidelbet^ in 1587.
1:588. A note that on Dec. 23 a fine [for a renewal of lease] of
£100 was received from Sir George Carew is signed by these
Fellows: John Farrar, Richard Cuilen, Richard Boughton,
Swithin Strowde, Paul Broune, John Kirke, R^he Winwood,
Thomas Phips, Thomas Davis, John Gosslinge, Laurence Hum-
frey, Thomas Machen, Richard Jeflferay, and J[ohn] Evorye.
In September Lord Norris {as ranger of the royal park at
Shotover) charged the College with unlawful hunting of deer in
their woods at Shotover (the cause of a great riot in 1586), which
the College pleaded they were entitled to do by their Charters.
The case was heard before the Privy Council in October, and
was referred to the judges {Acts of Privy Council, vol. xvi, 1897,
pp. 276, 299, 303)-
For a notice of the Christmas revels usual at this time, see
the memoir of Robert Ashley under the year 1584 infra.
^9- In Jan. (N.S.) six months' leave of absence was given to'
the President, Humphrey, 'ad res suas privatas expediendas,'
less than one month before his death, and the unusual allowance
of twelve months given to no fewer than seven fellows at once ' ob
eandem causam,' viz. Farrar, Boughton, Everie, Stroud, Chitty,
Morbred, and Hooper. On the 21st of that month, Pusey, B.A.,
Farbome, B.A., and Gilbert, M.A., were admonished 'de canibus
et venatione,' and Gosling, B.A., 'de prominente coma.'
The President's death is entered in only one short line in the
V. P. Peg. ' Feb. I. Mortuus est venerabilis vir D. Doctor
Laurentius Humfredus." His successor. Bond, was elected on
April 5 ; see vol. ii. p. 172.

Some unseemly disturbance occurred at the gaudy-dinner.
Three of the master-fellows, Boughton, Ivory (or Everie), and
Stroud, were summoned before the new President (Bond) and
the officers, 'quod in festo B. M. M. tria meliora fercula Vice-
praesidis vi abstulerint, quos d. Praeses ex sue arbitrio parium

The President's London house, entries for which had dis-
appeared from the accounts for a good many years, underwent
in this year apparently complete repair, costing the large sum of
£72 6s. sd. One item is 'pro gausapina tempore D. Humfrey,
lo*.,' a form of the word for tabk-cloth which seems unusual ; in
Ducange it is ' gausape ' and ' gausapa.'
1590. Sept. 19. The President, at evening prayers, admonished
the fellows, chaplains, and clerks to remove all strangers from
their rooms within five days, that they may not pass the night in
the Collie.
The praelectors of philosophy, of rhetoric, and logic (Harding,
Machin, and Kemish) were on Nov. 27 discommoned by the
President for one day for omitting their lectures without his
leave; and on Dec. 7 Bell, Hurst, and Martin were punished
in like manner for being too familiar with the demies and for
talking to them in English.
On Dec. 17, graces for degrees in arts, divinity, and medicine
for three fellows not named were refused without assignmoit of
cause ; and on the same day certain rules for better regulation
of discipline and study were agreed on by the President and
a majority of the thirteen seniors, 'quae quidem decreta, variis
articulis comprehensa, publicata fuenint ' ; but they are not
found in the V. P. Reg.
The accounts for this year are only found in the rough book.
Forty-two shillings were paid for a little bell in the Chapel.

To the accounts an inventory of all the plate, table-linen, and
brass, pewter, and iron vessels, and kitchen furniture, is ap-
pended. This will be found in the Appendix to this volume.
From this some idea of the large increase which had accrued
when the plate was given up fifty years afterwards for the
service of Charles I can bfe gained. In the account printed in
Gutch's CoUeciattea, I 327, the total weight is stated to have
been 29G lb. 6 oz. 15 dwt ; here the total amount, if the
account is complete, is only about 43 lb. But this inventory
takes no notice of what was kept in the President's house, but
only of what was kept in the buttery.

An attempt was made by Secretary [Sir John] WoUey to pro-
cure the election, as Fellow, of Thomas Pulleyn, M. A., of New
College; and the Earl of Huntingdon wrote a letter on his
behalf, dated April ao, in which he said that PuUeyn's friends
were content to wait for a speedy answer, trusting it would
offer good contentment, before moving the Queen I But as
the 'good contentment' did not follow, Her Majesty was
moved, and a mandate came from her for Pulleyn's election^
which Bond, apparently forgetful of his own case, boldly resisted,
and wrote to the Chancellor against it. And the nomination
failed *.

1593. July 30. The College was dismissed for vacation until
Michaelmas. But six weeks more were granted, except to the
thirteen seniors, on Sept. 25, 'propter pestem ingravescentem.'
The officers had remained during the vacation, or at least some
part of it, as on Aug. 14 an order was made by them, at

A balance of £370 at the end of the year was distributed as in

A long account of the entertainment of Prince Henry is given
in V. P. Register at ff 70, 71, He came to the College about
five o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday, Aug. 28, and went to
the chapel, where James Mabbe received him, in the name of
the President, with a speech in which he congratulated the
College on the reception of such a guest, and kissed the Prince's
hand. Thence the Prince was led to his room, and afterwards
was entertained with disputations (but the subjects are not
mentioned) between William Seymour, younger grandson of
the Earl of Hertford, as respondent, and Charles Somerset,
fourth son of the Earl of Worcester, Edward Seymour, elder
grandson of the Earl of Hertford, Robert Goi^e, son of Sir
Thomas Gorge, by [Helena] Marchioness of Northampton
(third wife of the first marq. Will. Parr), two sons of Sir
Thomas Chaloner, viz. William and Edward, and William
Borlase, son of Sir William Boriase, opponents, John Moseley,
M.A., presiding; which being ended, the disputants were
permitted to kiss the Prince's hand in token of his approval.
He was then taken round the cloisters to view the figures,
described as ' spirantes ex quadrato lapide imagines.' On the
following day he was present, with the King and Queen, at
disputations in Divinity, Law, Medicine, and Natural and
Moral Philosophy, in St. Mary's Church. On Thursday he
was entertained in the College Hall, where he sat alone in the
middle of the h^h table, and was delighted with the sight of
those sitting below at their several tables in gowns and hoods,
and, taking in his hand a full-filled glass goblet of wine, he said,
' Hem I vobis qui adestis salutem propino,' all, at the words,
springing to their feet ' Haud facile verbis explicare posses
quam in inttmos pectorum recessus incomparabilis benignissimi

Principis humanitas insinuavit se.' Of his goodwill he gave further
proof in being often heard to say, ' Suum esse hoc collegium,
et, sibi curae futurum,' speeches than which a more welcome
one had never been heard since the foundation of the College.
Afterwards William Grey, son of Lord Grey de Wilton, pre-
sented him, by commission from the President, with ' Pandulphi
Colenucii Apologos/ in an artistic binding worked with pearls ;
Richard Worsley, son and heir of Thomas Worsley of the Isle
of Wight, gave him 'libellum exoticarum linguarum, versibus
eleganter exaratum ' ; and Edward Chaloner, in the name of the
whole College, presented him with two pairs of gloves. Happily
for the Prince the want of time saved him from listening to
more disputations in both philosophies, and to dramas which
were ready to be acted, as well as from some 'spectacula'
which had been prepared. On Friday the King himself came,
and, Douglas Castillion, Fellow, 'orator bonus,' having wel-
comed him with a speech, went through the CoU^e, diligently
examining the library, where, pointing out with his finger
'authores vetustate pene et senio confectos,' 'Hie,' said he,
'illi sunt ex quibus contra haereses et male jactas in causa
. religionis opiniones pugnare oportet.' Then, taking the Earl
of Northampton by the right arm, he went down the steps into
the cloister, and at departing ' Magdalenenses et studiosos
omnes clara voce sic compellavit. Bene vakle, generosi.' The
Vice-President (Richard Boughton) ends his narrative by saying
that if one wishes to learn what the Prince thought of his
reception, or what the King said further (he could hardly have
said less at leaving than ' Good bye, gentlemen ' !) the follow-
ing letter written by Sir Thomas Chaloner to the President will
sufficiently show : ' Sir, my sodaine departure from Oxford
would not peimitt me to give you those thankes which the
Prince had commaunded me to send you and the Collie in his
behalfe. Therfor, in His Highnes name, I assure you that
the entertainement given him and his is soe gratefully accepted,
that he is willing both to requite it generally to the whole
societie, and perticularly to every member therof, which prince-
lie mind of his I entreate you to certifie unto the Colledge,

and withall that his Majestie commends the CoUedge for the
most absolute building of Oxford. Seinge therfor that the
King and his Roiall Sonne esteeme soe much of Magdalens,
you have reason to thinke their visitation to have beene a second
foundation to you. For myself, I am allwaies ready to serve
you, and, wherin 1 may, rest, most affectionately yours,
'Court, Sept 1. ThOMAS ChALONER.'
Short notices of this visit are given by Wake in Rex Pla-
totticus and by Wood, and a fuller account in Birch's Life of the
Prince, pp. 49-53, but this official narrative furnishes some
additional particulars.
Dr. Budden resigned his praelectorship of Natural Philo-
sophy on Dec. 18, and Edw. Othen, MA., demy, was appointed
his successor. (See Reg. iv. 338.)
1606. Aug. 31. The College was dismissed up to Michaelmas
Day 'ad evitandam contagionem pestis,' a time prolonged after-
wards until the beginning of term, which was postponed to
Oct, 33 *.

in Bloxam, ii. 279], and three shillings were paid 'uzori Northe'

payments were made for work in Kingsmill Closes. Twelve
shillings were paid, by order of the Vice-Chancellor, 'aegro-
tantibus, tempore pestis.'
In this and the following year the bursars* accounts are only
found in the rough day-book.
1607. James Wrench, M.A. (formerly, as appears from Foster's
Alumni Oxon., a member of Hart Hall, but who took his M.A.
degree from the College in 1603}, was presented to the vicarage
of Old Shoreham, Dec. 5, 1607 {Lib. Comp.). In 1609 he was
also presented to Bramber.

1616. In this year the bachelor Demies gave trouble by
disorderly conduct in dining in Hall with hats instead of their
caps. Bold, Darby, Davenport, Sai^ent, Harmer, Buckner,
Collard, Holt, Bide, Smith, Phipps, Tomkins, Williamson,
Savage, and Warder, were all deprived of commons for a week
for disobeying the Vice-President, 'quo, scilicet, mandante, ne
quis eonim tempore prandii et coenae mensam accumbere prae-
sumat nisi pileo quadrato indutus, illi nihilominus post quartam
aut quintam monitionem rebelles et inobedientes galeris operti
discubuerunt *.* Phipps, Bold, Darby, and Sargent were again
discommoned in June and July, 'ob supinam negligentiam turn
in divinis, tum in lecturis et disputationibus.' Darby signed a
humble apology, acknowledging that he had not behaved to the
Vice-President as his duty and the latter's authority required,
professing great sorrow for his negligence, and promising that
as long as he remained in College he would reverently obey the
Vice-President and the rest of the Fellows in all statutable
requirements. He resigned his demyship in 1618. Several ol
them were again punished in 161 7, and particularly Bold, who
at length made humble submission.

volume, but he does not there add his own note which he has
attached to the entry in the Lib. Comp, : ' still in use, 1847-56.'
The cost of the cloth is not given in the accounts. It is a
beautiful piece of embroidery on velvet, bearing the College
arms and mitre, with the date 1617; and is hung over the
preacher's stall in chapel when the sermon on St. John Baptist's
Day is dehvered there, and in front of the stone pulpit, when, in
accordance with the old custom revived in 1896, the sermon is
in fine weather preached in the open air.
In this year and in the two years following plays written
by Samuel Bernard the schoolmaster were performed. The
particulars are leamedfrom the description of the original MSS.
(of which the present place of deposit is not known) found in the
Sale Catalogue of the library of his son, Charles Bernard,
serjeant-surgeon to Queen Anne, in March, 171?, p. 217, lot 674
of books in folio. From a priced copy of the Catalogue in the
Bodleian Library (Crynes 701) it appears that the MSS. were
sold for I05.* On Jan. 23, 161^, 'Julius et Gonzaga, tragoedia
nova,' was acted in the President's house ; Jan. 36, i6i|, 'Andro-
nicus, tragoedia,' in the Hall ; Jan. 27, i6ig, ' Phocas, tragoedia
nova,' also in the Hall, The cost for the second of these
performances (which included an unknown comedy) is entered
in the Bursars' accounts for 1618, but the others do not occur,
except that in this year, 1617, there is a small entry, ' Hoby,
pro diversis per billam in tragoedia per pauperes scholares, &.'
And the cost in 1618 was verily costly : ' diversis per billaa pro

divided between domus and its members. Another copy of the

The King and Queen again passed by with the wonted
ringing of bells and lai^ess to trumpeters ; and again were
gloves given to the Bishop of Winchester, but at a double
price, £3, and in 1619 at a cost of £1 zs.
'Custodibus domus correctionis apud Witney, 6'. 8^. Stayno,

In accordance with the custom at this period (noted supra at
pp. 27, 33, 34) of dividing the greater part of the balance at
the end of the year among all on the foundation, the sum of
£262 2S. 4(/., out of a balance of £378 45. ad., was divided in this
year between the President, Fellows, Chaplains, Clerks, Prae-
lectors. Demies, Choristers, and Servants.
i6j8. From about this time the Vice-President's Register has
few entries besides such as relate to grants of leave pf absence;
except that occasionally slight breaches of discipline are noticed.
The continual allowance of absence for periods varying from
a fortnight to a year show how the rule of constant residence
was gradually becoming relaxed. The cases in which a full
year's leave was given are all noticed in this volume under the
names of the persons so licensed.

Gloves were sent to Mr. Nicolson * at a cost of £3, and £3 were
paid to Mr. Minsheu 'pro libro suo,' but the copy of John
Minsheu's Guide into Tongues (published in 1617) which is now
in the Library has an inscription describing it to be 'ex dono
Henrici Perier quondam socii.' Three shillings were given to
the trumpeters of the Earl of Essex, and eleven shillings to
those 'quorundam nobilium.' For the carriage of books from
Wells, 3s. + A goblet was received from Mr. Scudamore,

3U. T".' The Vice-President seems to have had a table to him-
self in Hall, for we meet with this entry: 'Johanni Carpenter,
emendanti tabulam Vice-praes. in Aula, 3", 6^.' Payments
occur for a register for the College utensils, and for a register
in the Library of benefactions.
1633. For the Library ten pence were paid to — Way ' ad-
figenti librorum catalogos.'
Fees were paid to the trumpeters of the Earls of Oxford and
Essex, and also, oddly enough, to some ' buccinatoribus ignotis,'
who, or their like, were also fortunate enough to get a fee in
the next year. Payments to such attendants upon the King or
on nobles appear in most years.
In this year and onwards one ' Mag.* Ellis had charge of the
almshouse, with an annual stipend of £3.
1633. In the expenses on the President's house there is an
entry of is. 4^. 'pro le Flassert.' What was this ?
Many rooms were repaired in this year,
1624. The high road ijefore the College was repaired at a
cost of £19 19s. 3*/., and posts were put up in front.
1635. ' Pauperibus peste infectis a 20 Aug. usque ad 3 Dec, ex
eleemosyna Collegii,' £ 19 los.
Out of the balance of income at the end of the year, £45
were allotted for repairs in the Chapel in the year following.
The next accounts show that £17 os. zd. were paid iir 1626 to
workmen brought from London (Bloxam, Reg, ii aflo). And
in 1627 £iia 7s. ^d. were laid out, including the cost of the
screen, painting the choir, and providing thirty-two brass can-
delabra (ib. 280-1).
1626. 'Pauperibus peste infectis,' Dec.-Feb., £10 los.
'Procurator! advehenti poculum Parliamentarium, a*.' This
would seem to refer to some gift from the Parliament, possibly
in acknowledgement of civilities received when the session was
held at Oxford in August of the preceding year, but no mention
of it is found in the Journals and none has been met with
elsewhere.
1627. For the President's house a good deal was provided in
carpets, &c. ' Pro 2 paribus andenarum \attdirons\ ■<

This was the well-known scholar, Matthias Pasor, v^o was
incorporated at Oxford as M.A. of Heidelberg, June 5, 1624,
and who for several years taught Hebrew and Arabic in the
University. He printed at the University Press in 1627
Oratio pro linguae Arabicae ptvfessione, publice ad Academicos
habita in Sckola Theohgica xx Oct. 1626, in which he said
that lectures would be delivered twice a week in each term.
Gloves were given to Mr. Langton of London at a cost of
£165.

1635. Cases occur about this time and in 1639 of leave being
given to Fellovre at several times to postpone their being
admitted to priest's orders on account of the absence of the
Bishop of Oxford, and the consequent omission of his holding
ordinations. These cases show that the diocesan relation of
the bishop was so far recognized at that time by the College,
although it may only have been for convenience sake,
' Mro. Frewen, pro reparatione capellae in Brackley si". 9". 3^.

of Higden's Polyckronicon (Bloxam's Reg. ii. 59).

having been, for some unknown reason, torn out, and the next
entry on f. 92 is dated Dec 11, 1637. The letter therefore may
possibly belong to the latter year and not to 1636. It is quoted
by Dr. Bloxam at p. xciv, vol, ii, of his Register {-where he prints
the portion relating to the Chapel and the Services) under the
date of 1636.
' To the right worshipfull Mr. Dr. Frewen, Deane of Gloucester
and President of Magdalen CoUedge in Oxford, and the Fellowes
thereof these : —
' Mr, President and the rest of the Fellowes,
'Having taken into consideration the government of the
Colledge, as it hath been represented unto me by some that
know it well, out of my love to it, I cannot but expresse to you
the great content and comfort I take therein, as knowing how
much it concemes the good government of the Church abroad,
to have these places of piety and learning well governed at
home. Yet forasmuch as there is hardly any government so
absolute and well ordered in every part thereof, but that some
deficiency may be found therein, I shall take the liber^ as your
freind and Visitor, to deliver my opinion concerning some
things, which I conceive may admitt of a reformation, and
betterment. And first, as I cannot but commend you for your
wisedome and moderation in preserving peace and unity amongst
your selves, which is the blessing of all societies, so 1 shall dayly
pray for the continuance of that blessing upon you. Next, as
I must make it a part of your commendation that you have
a good care of your Colledge in generall, in keeping it suffi-
ciently and decently repaired, so especially I cannot but to your
honour take knowledge of the great, and extraordinary great,
cost and charge you have been at, in adorning and beautifying
your Chappell, whereby it may in some degree of decency
represent the majesty of Him whose House it is. But, withall,
to this beauty and decency of the place, I shall also desire you
to adde a decent and comely carriage of your persons in that
place, by an uniforme reverence in all parts of Divine worship
and service, according to the canonicall injunctions of the
Church, and the commendable and imitable practise of his

Majesties Chappell, that so God may be worshipped, not only
in Holinesse, but in the Beauty of Holinesse.
'And whereas I am informed that you have a multitude of
poore schoUers or Servitors, which hang upon the Colledge in
an idle and unschoUerly way, by reason that every man takes
unto himselfe a liberty to take in whom he will to wayt upon
him, without any order of admittance, which I take to be
principally the fault of the President, who either out of negli-
gence, or indulgence, and connivence, sees, and suffers, this
disorder, and reformes it not. For redresse whereof, I think
it 6tt and doe accordingly order, that none shall be allowed or
permitted to serve any of the Foundation but such as shall be
first admitted and have their names entred into a Booke by the
President, and shall either goe to the Grammer Schoole, or if
their abilitie be beyond that degree of learning, shall diligently
frequent lectures, performe disputations, and all other such
exercises as those of the Foundation are bound unto. And it
is my desire likewise, that all Commoners admitted into the
Colledge, may be tyed to the same rules, the sonnes of Noble-
men and such as are of great quality only excepted.
' In the last place, I shall advise you to have a speciall care of
the Colledge stocke and treasure, that you may have wherewith
to releeve and helpe yourselves, uppon all unhappy accidents,
or occasions that may befall the Colledge. And for this purpose
I shall require the President, and such as shall be from time to
time in office under him, that they be very carefiill both of the
revenew and of the issues and expences of the Colledge ; First,
that none of the Colledge rents, by any of their negligence or
default, be suffered to decay, but that all good meanes may be
speedily and effectually used, for the getting in of all such debts
as shall at any time be owing and unpaid ; for you know. Bona
nontina non appeliando Jiunt mala. Secondly, for your expences,
that all provisions for the Colledge may be made at the best
rate that the towne and markett can afford. And ' {caelera

The College was accused of waste in felling timber, and
the following letter was in consequence written by the Visitor,
Bishop Walter Curie. It is copied at f. 93 in the Vice- Presidents
Register : —
'To the right worshipfull my very good friends Mr. Dr.
Frewen, Deane of Gloucester and President of Magd. Coll. in
Oxford, and to the Senior Fellows there.
'After my veiy harty commendations. At my late being at
Woodstock in attendance upon his Majesty, hearing of a com-
plaint given in against the Colledge, for a great destruction and
wast of timber made by you in your woods adjoyning unto
Shottover forest, and that in an unseasonable time prohibited
by the Statutes of the land, (which complaint was made so neare
unto the King's eare that it might very well have come to his
hearing), out of my love and respect to your Colledge I was
willing to informs myselfe of the truth thereof by some of your
owne, that if there should be cause I might appeare in your
justification or excuse. And to this purpose having sent for the
President and some other of the Fellows, I found that the com-
plaint was not alltc^ether without ground, but that much good
^mber had been cutt downe. In defence whereof it was sayd
that the tymber so felled was imployed for the use of the
Colledge ; yet it appeared not unto me that it was for any such
necessaiy uses as might require either so much for quantity or
so good for quality, and indeed the special! use then mentioned

1 approved not, and therefore blamed Mr. President for it, that
he would suffer such a wast to be committed, whose answeare
was, that whatsoever was done in thai kind was without his know-
ledge. How an ill custome hath prevayled amongst you I know
not, but it seemes very strange to me that any officers or others
of the Colledge should take upon them such a power without
consent of the President, to whose care and providence the
state of the Colledge is especially committed, neither is any
such course or custome to be allowed. And therefore, to
prevent the like wast by the usurpation of any such pretended
power or custome for the time to come, 1 doe, by that power
which your statutes allowe me, order and decree — First, that
yearly betwixt Christmas and the first of March (before which
tyme by your statutes you are not to admitt of any workmen in
the Colledge) the President and Officers doe take a view of the
Colledge, and consider what repayres are fitt to be undertaken
the yeare following, and that the Bursars in theyr account at the
Audite chai^ not the Colledge with any summe above twenty
shillings either in building or repayring for which they then
produce not theyr warrant under the hand of the President and
two at the least of the Officers. Secondly, I order that there
be not in any one yeare above five tymber trees felled for any
repayres or other workes whatsoever, either in the President's
lodgings or in any other part of the Colledge (except it be in
some extraordinary case of necessitie, in which case more may
be allowed according to the discretion of the President), and
those to be assigned by him not out of the best and most
prospering trees, but such as are in a way of decaying, and that
no fayre growing timber trees be at any time topt or lopt, but
suffered to continew to theyr full growth, neither that any other
okes be at any time topt or lopt but by the President's direction
and allowance. That so, if anything be done amiss he may be
answereable for it, and not plead a nescience in his owne defence.
The reasons that have moved me to put and press these orders
upon you are especially these : first, to preserve your woods
fi:Y>m spoyle, and, secondly, you from clamour and complaint,
and that especially to his Majestic, whose care for the preserva-

tion of tymber I know to be such that the destroying or ill-using
of woods is a thing very highly displeasing unto him. Upon
these considerations I have thought good to commend these
orders unto you, and to require of you the carefull observance
of the same. And to that end I doe more particularly require
the President to cause them to be entred upon the Regester,
and yearely to give me an accompt how they are observed.
And so, not doubting of your care and confonnitie herein,
I commend my love to you, and you to the grace of God in
Const. Your very loving friend,

The plate, however, was not then sold, but when the King at
the end of the year established his Mint in Oxford, he applied
to the CoU^e, in a letter dated Jan. 6, 164I, for the loan of it
for coining. On Jan. 14 it was ordered at a College meetii^
that this should be done, and all the plate (excepting the
Founder's cup) was on Jan. 18 delivered for the Mint. The
letter, order, and receipt relating to this are printed in
Bloxam's Reg. v. 14-15 ». The weight of the plate was
296 lb. 6 oz. 15 dwt. {Tanner MS. 338.)
When the King came to Oxford with his army on Oct 39
'the ordinance and great guns were driven into Magdalen
College Grove, about 26 or 37 peices, with all their carriages.*
(Clark's Wood's Ltfe and Times, vol i. 1891, p. 68.) The
College had been disarmed by the parliamentary troops on
Sept 15 (U>. p. 61).

On July 24 Richard Lydcott, M.A., Demy, was deprived of
his demyship for serving in the army of the Parliament against
the King. He had been taken prisoner at the surrender of
Banbury in Oct. 1643, when he was an ensign in the regiment
of the Earl of Peterborough, and in Feb. 1643 was lieutenant
of a company of foot in the Earl of Essex's army in Berkshire.
The proceedings against him, with the evidence of two wit-

at the latter reference, he was again Dean of Divinity in
1593 and 1594, Bursar in 1593, 1596, and 1598, and senior
Dean of Arts in 1595. Some question appears to have
arisen in 1578 with regard to his election and the votes
given for him, with reference to which the Visitor wrote in
a letter of Aug. 13;— 'As to Sir Strowde's case, they deate
uncharitablie that doe molest him, pretendinge an Injunction
geven by me touchinge the suspendinge of voyces : for
that lawes to be made lookes not backwarde but forwarde ;
they cannot make that whiche is once done undone, but
they provyde for tyme to come; that the like afterwards
be not done.' He was deprived of commons for a fort-
night, 28 Jan., 1592 (when Dean of Divinity 1) for quarrelling
with William Cooke, and using 'verba nociva.' He re-
mained Fellow until his death in 1607 or 1608 {Reg.
Admiss. i. 77'^). His will (in which his name is spelled in
his signature 'Strowde') is dated 27 Sept., 1607, and was
proved 17 June, 1608. He leaves to his kinsman Elias
Lancaster a flock bed and flock bolster ; to Henry Dochen
his ring; to Mr. John Pusey, B.D., Fellow of Magd.

to a physician's place, 38 Dec., 1583; 2 March, 1592, as
'medicinae studens' was allowed, on account of his
brother's illness, to defer to the next term the disputations
in medicine which he should have done that Lent

Clerk of the Market, 1605-6. Resigned, 1613. He prob-
ably died in 1633, as in that year certain books of his
were brought to the College from Godalming, where the
family of Chitty appears from Manning and Bray's Hist, of
Surrey chiefly to have lived; see the extracts from the
Bursary Accounts, and from Dr. Clark's MS. note-book

Everie of Chaffcombe, Somerset, but elected for Lincoln-'

was setjeant-at-arms to Queen Elizabeth, and his election
was consequently forced upon the College by one of those
royal nominations which the College often vainly resisted,
and which formed the precedents followed afterwards by
James 11. The following letter is entered in the V. P.

actual Fellow 11 Oct., 1578, in obedience to an injunction
from the Visitor, who wrote thus from Farnham, 13 Aug.,
1578:-

some, for the record in Reg. Admiss. (f. 52*>) testifies that
he was admitted 'ex mandate dom. episc. Winton et ex
assensu et consensu seniorum dicti Collegii qui inter-
fiientnt, quibusdam reclamantibus et discedentibus.' He
was admitted to a physician's place 28 Dec., 15& ; and

B.A. of Brasenose, appealed to Congr^ation against him
and Swithin Stroud (Clark's Reg. Univ. Ox/., II. i. 106),
which appeal may no doubt have been in the matter of
the assault upon Caplen by Everie, which is mentioned
in our preceding vol. p. 115, amongst other charges brought
i^ainst him in 1584. On 5 Oct., 1588, he was brought
before the Privy Council, t<^ether with Richard Boughton
and Richard Cullen, by the President, in pursuance of
letters from the Council, for some unspeci6ed reason (prob-
ably on the chaise of poaching at Shotover ; see p. 25,
supra\ and all the three were enjoined to give attendance
there until dismissed {Acts of P. C, vol. xvii, 1897, p.
298). In Aug. 1592 he was one of the delegates appointed
to superintend the exercises performed before the Queen
on her visit to Oxford (Clark, ut supra, 230), and on
Oct. 10 in that year was appointed a Clerk of the Market
(I'A. 254). With four others (of whom Ralph Winwood,
Fellow, was one) he had a grant of the public carriership
of the University for thirty years, in June, 1594, in order
that debts due to privileged persons by Richard Smout,
carrier, who had absconded, might be paid by them out
of the profits. To Everie £60 105., and to Winwood £75,
were due (16. 317-20). He married Elizabeth, sister of
William Lambert, of Oxford, and had a son Simon, who
was M.P. for Leicester in 1640, and was created a baronet
a6 May, 1641, He resigned his Fellowship in i6oi, and
died in 1618. He was buried in St Mary's, Oxford,
34 Sept., 1618 (Wood MS., Bodl. Lib., D5, pp. 3, 79), but
his widow erected in the following year a monimient in
the church of St Peter-in-the-East, on the east wall of
the chapel (now used as a vestry), with this inscrip-
tion : —

Above the tablet is a shield of arms, bearing four chevrons.
The inscription has become very faint and worn.
The wealth which he possessed at his death, which is
learned from an inventory in the University Archives, was
such as could rarely have been found in the hands of
a graduate resident in Oxford, The inventory was taken
on 25 Sept., 1618, the day following his death. In ready
money, £573 ; in bills and other good debts, £5,043 3s, arf. ;
total of money and goods, £5,780 9s. 6d. But then there
were 'more goods which came to Mrs, Everise knowledge
afterwards. A geldit^e with saddell, £8 ; 6 handkirchers,

John Foxe, the martyrologist. Demy, 157+. To the long
account of him in Demies' Reg. (pp. 191-9) there is but
little to add. An entry in the V. Presidenfs Register,
overlooked by Dr. Bloxam, shows that his short journey
abroad while still an undergraduate, which caused such
alarm to his father, was taken with the leave of the
College, and therefore it was no wonder that on his return
he was (as Pratt says in his Life of John Foxe) ' again
kindly received by Dr. Humfrey.' The entry is, that on
10 Dec, 1577, fifteen days' absence was granted him
' peregrinandi causa,' and a note is added, ' Rediit ante
dies illos elapsos.' Another entry has also been missed,
which records that a second leave of absence for a year,
in order to study abroad, was granted on 24 Dec., 1584.
He was admitted to a physician's place, 30 July, 1587
(Report on MSS. of Duke of Buccleuck for Hist. MSS.
Commission, 1899, vol. i. p. 25). He resigned his fellow-
ship in 1590, but from an entry in his own autobiography
(Dem. Reg. p. 198) appears to have done so under one of
those simoniacal contracts severely condemned by Bishop
Cooper in his Injunctions; for he says that for bis
surrender of his place he had £73, and a manor which
t he sold for £125. He was elected M.P. for Midhurst in
1583, and for Knaresborough in 1593. His death occurred
in Jan. i6|g. An abstract of a letter from him to Sir
Robert Cecil, respecting the lease of a moiety of the
township of Burton and Sheplye in Northumberland,
given him by 'his master' [Sir Thomas Heneage; Dem.

II March, i59f. His grace for this degree was for some
time refused by a majority of the seniors, with whom he
was very unpopular, and whom he professed to despise.
They refused to give reasons, as not being bound by statute
to allege any, but one of the reasons President Bond
understood to be that he asked for degrees while non-
resident. The question came before the Visitor, whose
interposition was frequently sought during Bond's presi-
dency, and it is evident from the President's letters that
he was opprased to Harding. In one letter, dated 12 June,
1596, Bond says that Harding is 'wonted to vaunt more
of his own worth than any wise men in Oxford do esteem
of him *.' Praelector of Moral Philosophy from 1583 to
1592. While Praelector he was sconced of one day's
commons 'eo quod, admonitione praemissa, negligenter
omiserat lectionem philosophicam ' ; and on 21 Nov., 1593,
Richard Boughton, then senior bursar, was sconced for

30 Oct., 1597, he had six months' leave ' promotionis ergo,'
possibly on account of his appointment to Haseley. Re-
specting this appointment he wrote to the Queen praying
her to confirm it, the dean and canons of Windsor having
claimed the patronage and made another presentation
[Calendar of MSS. 0/ Marq. 0/ Saiisbury, publ. by Hist,
MSS. Commission, part vii, 1899, p, 546), On the death of
President Bond in 1608 an injunction for his election as
successor was received from the King. It is singular that
as he was the leader in the opposition to Bond's election
on the mandate of Queen Elizabeth, so his own election on
the mandate of James I was strenuously opposed, while
compliance with the royal will was even more imperiously
and threateningly demanded. The following letters are
taken from copies in Harteian MS. 677, ff. 57*»-6o : —

There could at that time be only one response to such arbit-
rary mandates. On 24 Feb., 160J, Dr. Arthur Lake wrote to
Sir Thomas Lake, ' I have been to the Bishop of Winchester,
who will do his best to forward Dr. Harding, though there
is a great conspiracy to exclude him '(Co/, of Domestic S, P.,
Addenda, 1580-1625) ; but his election had already been
made on Feb. 22. It was not, however, without some
evidence that Pusey would have been preferred At the
first scrutiny Harding had thirty-seven votes, Pusey
twenty-two. Smith twelve, Bradshaw two, and Parkhurst
one ; but this shows that each voter gave Harding one vote ;
while at the second scrutiny he had the majority. But he
did not hold office long, for he died on 5 Nov., 1610, and was
buried in the College Chapel. He appears to have died
of dropsy, for in an Oxford physician's note-book of prac-
tice at the time (Rawlinson MS. A. 369, fol. 112, Bodl.
Libr.) are several prescriptions, which include plasters, for
' Hidropice tibie D. Harding.' By his will dated 31 Aug.,
1610, he 'gave to his brother-in-law, Sir Henry Marten,
al. Martyn, LL.D, \who had married his sister\, John Wil-
kinson, D.D,, Principal of Magdalen Hall, Thomas Went-
worth, of Lincoln's Inn, and Edward Clarke, of Reading,
and their heirs, a rent of £10, issuing out of all his lands
in Dokenfield in Hampshire, on trust, to convey the same
to the school of Farnham, if it were corporate, otherwise
to fit persons, in trust to pay the same to the schoolmaster.
The trustees, finding the school was not corporate, con-
veyed the rent-charge to trustees, and the trust has been
renewed from time to time. By the table of benefactors
in Famham Church it appears that Dr. Harding also gave
for the same benevolent purpose a house and land in Ede's
Hatch in Frensham, of which parish he was a native.

He married at Haseley, in 1598, Isabella Qarke, a widow,
and had by her six children, all born and baptized at
Haseley, viz. John, Edward, Mary (who married Edward
Reynolds, afterwards Bishop of Norwich), and three other
daughters. He appears never to have published anything,
and all his literary work was summed up in the assistance
he gave, as Professor of Hebrew, to the first and second
classes of the translators of the Authorized Version of the
Bible. In the College library he appears as the donor
of two books, Pictorius* Thesaurus linguae Teutonicae, 4",
Zurich, 1561, and a folio German Bible printed at Wittem-
berg in 1584, which, however, was not received until 1616,
six years after his death.
Humphrey, John, co. Oxon., elected for Lincoln. Son of
President Humphrey. Matriculated in this year at the age

shown by the following entry in the bursars' account for
the chapel in that year : ' Solut, CuUee [pro ?] fodientibus
busta D. Syletheust et Magistri Humfrei, 2".' The first
name, which is very indistinctly written, no doubt stands
for Richard Slithurst, M.D., the date of whose death has
previously (as noted in our preceding volume, p. 81) escaped
discovery. It would seem from the description of Humphrey
as ' Magister ' that he had taken the degree of M.A., but it
is not recorded.

Praeside et aliis pur^iasset.' M.A., ii Apr., 1584. He
resigned his fellowship in 1586, but from that year, or
probably from the year preceding, was Praelector of Natural
Philosophy until 1591, when he resigned that lectureship
on March 24. In the account of him in the Demies^
Reg., under the year 1578, many extracts are given at
pp. 207-10 from the Calendars of State Papers relative to
his employment, under Various pseudonyms, in 1565-6
and 1591-4 as a government spy, at home and abroad,
upon the movements of the Jesuits and the plots against
England. He appears to have disguised himself so well
that he was suspected sometimes of being really an agent
on the other side ; and the doubt entertained in College
about his religion in 1579 shows that he was early an adept
in playing a double part After the year 1594 he appears
from the State Papers to have been in England, and to
have been employed in some way by the Earl of Worcester.
His services to the State were recompensed under James 1
by a lease for life of the Priory of St. John, Clerkenwell,
dated 3 Aug, 1603, and by Charles I he was reccanmended
for a fellowship at All Souls' College by letter of 16 Feb.,
i6a|. The date of his death has not been ascertained.
In addition to the notices of his letters given by Dr. Bloxam,
the following may be mentioned. Letter to Sir Will. Waad,

the Duke of Feria, and asking for the release of Nicholas
Owen, who had been taken with Gerard the Jesuit ; abstract

contains mention of a letter from Francis Harvey, of Mid-
deibui^h, to SterriU, which Gatacre was entrusted with,
which appears to be a letter described in part v of the
Calendar, 1895, p. 60, dated 17 Feb, 1595, enclosing
another, and is there said to be entrusted to ' Sterrelle's
man ' to deliver. This is addressed ' to the worshippe[full]
Mr, William Sterrelle in London or at Court' In 1596
Thomas Phelippes, writing to the Earl of Essex on Dec. 9,
says that above five years since he accepted an offer for
restoring, for the Queen's service, ' an old decayed intelli-
gence between Sterell and the fugitive traitors on the other
side,' but that, through errors committed bypersonsemployed
by the Earl, no good came of Sterrill's travails, 'and the
party himself suspected without cause,' and Phelippes was
told that the Queen was distasted with the man and the
matter, and deemed Phelippes weak in judgement in ex-
pecting any better result. But he has now found a port
where this traffic may be both safely and profitably exer-
cised. Ibid, vi, 1895, p. 511, It appears from what follows
in this letter that ' our man ' (t'. e. Sterrill) had promised to
take Garnet, but Mr. Wade, having discovered the promise
(t'. e. allowed it to become known), ' it set Garnet and his
crew against our man, so as it cost six months' writing to
and fro to salve that suspicion,' and ' they accused our man
of dealing with the State.'

was James Bisse, and the lingual abuse offered him must
have been of an unusual kind to have been visited with so
severe a sentence I But Cooke did not learn by it to control
his tongue entirely for the future, for on 28 Jan., 1593,

after, certainly, a long interval, he was deprived of commons
for one week for quarrelling with Stroude; and using
' verba nociva.' From 1589 to 1594 he was Praelector of
Hebrew. On 14 Oct, 1591, he had leave of absence for
a year ' ad praedicandum Evangelium coram Consiliariis
in confinibus Walliae deputatis/ 1, e. the Council of the
Marches, but on Oct. 27 this was recalled, and leave was
given to H. Frencham instead. On 16 April, 1595, he had
eight weeks' leave of absence ' promotionis causa,' and on
July 21 eight weeks again, to visit his friends in Yorkshire,
provided he stayed there all the time, a condition which
was about this time often imposed when easy and extended
absence for like reasons b^an to be allowed. On Feb. 4
in the following year a year's grace was granted him, pro-
vided he serves during the time 'in beneficiis suis eccle-

dence to show, and on Feb. 10 in that year he was licensed
to preach. Harleian MS. (Brit. Mus.) 4240 has, at p. 172,

Joel Tinley the vicar, at a rent of 135. 4^. (see preceding
vol., p. 193); probably there was some mutual arrange-
ment between thera. He was. Wood (Atk. Oxon.) tells us,
' esteemed a man of parts and an eloquent preacher . . .
and had the general character of a person well read in
the Fathers, but, withal, a most bitter enemy to the Papists.'
His ecclesiastical preferments were consequently numerous.
Archdeacon of Ely, 17 July, 1600 ; rector of Duxford St.
Peter, Cambr., 1601 or 1603, or the presentation of Mr.
Paris of Linton, to whom Bishop Martin Heton of Ely
wrote on 16 Feb., i6of, saying that he had now promoted
his 'kinsman' Tinley, and requesting that Paris would now
present the Bishop's chaplain in Tinleys place (Report on
MSS. in Pembroke Coll., Camb., in Fiflk Report of Hist.
MSS. Commission, p. 437). This further promotion was to
the rectory of Glemsford, Suffolk (a hving still in the gift of
the bishops of Ely), and was followed on 4 Feb., i6o|, by
collation to the prebend of the third stall in Ely CathedraL
In 1602 he became also rector of Cottenham, Cambridge-
shire ; vicar of Witham, Essex, in 1607 ; collated to the
prebend of Cantlers or Kentish Town in St. Paul's
Cathedral, 23 Aug., 1608. He died in 1616, and was
buried at Witham, according to Wood, B. Willis, and
Milner {Hist, of Ely), the two latter probaUy only follow-
ing a supposition of Wood's; but Cole thoi^ht he was
buried at Ely.
His solitary publication was the following, of which there
is a copy in the College Library, and on the title-page
of which his name is spelled Tyt^ey. ' Two learned ser-
mons; the one' {on Ps, cxxiv. 1-8} ' 0/ the misckieuous
subtiltie and barbarous crueliie ; the other' (on St. Matt.
viL 16, 17) ' 0/ the false doctrines and refined heresis, of
the Romish synagogue' ; 4X0, Lond., 1609. Of these ser-
mons Wood says, 'In the first are examined divers
passages of that English libel written by a certain fugitive
against [King James the First's] Apology for the Oath of
Allegiance ; in the other are answered many of the argu-

ments published by Robert Chambers, priest, concerning
popish miracles.' The first was preached at St. Paul's
Cross, and the second at the Spital. The printer (W. Hall)
says in a pre&tory note that the author could hardly be
brought to publish them ' vntil such time as bee was per-
swaded that as they did edifie and content many hundreds
that did hear them preached/ so they would being printed
instruct many others. Wood adds, ' He hath written other
things, as 'tis said, but such I have not yet seen.'
His signature occurs under date of 13 Nov., 1602, in the
album of Fred. Kemener noticed in the preceding volume,
pp. 181-2. A son, Martin Tinley, also called Tilney,
of Christ Church, became archdeacon of Stafford in 1636.

been the wife of John Weekes, one of the yeomen of
the Queen's guard; at whose desire Queen Elizabeth
wrote a mandatory letter to the College for the election
of his 'son-in-law,' or rather, step-son (his mother having
apparently married Weekes as her second husband), to
a fellowship 'at your next election,' dated 37 June, 158^
which is printed in the Report on the MSS. of the Duke
of Buccleuch issued by the Historical MSS. Commission
in 1899, vol. i. p. 24. On the next page of that Report
a College notification appears of the admission of Win-
wood to 'a Lawe place now voyde by the departure of
Mr. Doctor Day,' 30 July, 1587. The following notes
from the Vice-Presidenfs Reg. are in addition to those
g^ven by Bloxam. In 1589 he had leave to go 'in trans-
marinas partes,' in company with Parkhurst, and they were
allowed £10 75, 6rf. for their commons. A year's leave of
absence, for like foreign travel, was granted on 19 July,

another year for studying abroad with the same allowance.

others, for not wearing the surplice and hood in Chapel
(Bloxam's Reg. II. Uxx, where for 1588 read 1587). And
his opinions became more confirmed and obnoxious to
authority in his later years. In 1607 he published in
folio, A scholasticall Discourse against symbolizing with
Antichrist m Ceremonies, especially in the Signe of Uie
Crosse. A royal proclamation was thereupon issued
against him, which offered a reward for his apprehension ;
he narrowly escaped arrest in London, but succeeded in
escaping to Holland, where he settled at Leyden. From
Leyden he went to Amsterdam, but becoming engaged
there in disputes with other nonconformists respecting
church government by synods or classes, removed in 1613,

He was bom at Damerhani, seven miles from Salisbury,
Saturday, 5 July, 1565. His faxher Anthony Ashley, ' seu
potius Astley/ was connected with the Warwickshire
family of the Lords Ashley; his mother was Dorothy
Lyte, of the Lytes of Lyte's Carey, Somerset, He was
baptized when a week old, with his uncle William Ashley
and William Keylway for godfathers, who named him
Robert after a great-grandfather, 'quiamplissimahereditate
ex opimis nuptiis iteratis familiam nostram auxerat.* The
baptism was by immersion, for, ' cum sacerdos (ut infantibus
praesertim ac delicatulis fieri solet) me leviter in facie
aspersum a lavacro dimitteret, curavit patruus Henricus
exutum pannis ac penitus nudatum in sacro fonte intin-
gendum ac abluendum.' A younger brother, Francis, was
born 24 Nov., 1569. His first teacher was David
Woodm[an ?], of Balliol College, who had been a friend
of his elder brother [Anthony] there " ; with him he was,
when six years of age, at the Free School at Newport,
Isle of Wight, of which Woodm[an ?], who was a native
of the island, had become master. While there he was
ill with the small-pox, which, however, left no scar.
Woodm[an] was promoted to the mastership of Wiraborne
Minster School, and Ashley went with him. Two accidents
befell him there ; when ten years old a sharp thorn got
into his eye, but was extracted by a skilful suigeon at
Sherborne without injury to his sight ; and on a dark

the church on the marble steps, 90 injuring his ri^t knee
that he was lame for some months. His school-changes
were numerous, for on his father being appointed Keeper of
Corfe Castle by Sir Christopher Hatton, he was removed
to a good school at that place, where he acted the chief
part in a Christmas play ; but in a year's time his father
grew weaiy of his charge and returned home, and Robert
was then transferred to a school at Southampton which was
under a Flemish master, the femous Dr. Hadrian Saravia,
who received about twen^ lads of high rank into his house
to learn ' French. That was the only language ^>oken
in Saravia's family, and there was a rule that jf any one
spoke English he should wear a morion on his head at
meal-times until he could pass it on to some one caught
committing the same offence. Under Saravia he gained
much improvement in Latin, reading Ovid, Cicero, and
Terence. On holidays he was allowed to go to the Isle
of Wight to see relatives of his mother. At the beginning
of his twelfth year, on Saravia's being recalled to Flanders,
he was removed to the School at Salisbury, of which
Dr. Adam Hill, formerly a Fellow of Balliol, was master *,
where he took the chief part in some plays which were
acted before Henry, Earl of Pembroke, who lived in the
neighbourhood, [at Wilton]. Daily prayers were attended
in the Cathedral, where it was the custom that some one
of the boys who had a clear voice should read the first
lesson, a service to which he was often appointed because
he read' more distinctly than the rest, a thing of which
he was not a little proud, ' quod essem laudis cupidissimus,'
Once while watching some youths exhibiting 'gladiatorial'
(boxing and wrestling?) games in the streets, he was
challenged to fight by one of them, who gave him no rest
until he stripped and fought, coming off victorious, amidst
the applause of the crowd, and winning of course great
glory amongst his school-fellows. Upon the breaking out

Hart Hall (but not matriculated until May), and there,
as he bitterly complains, he was put under a brutal tutor,
whose name he does not mention, who daily beat him with
the greatest passion. But afler a few months he migrated
to Alban Hall, gaining for tutor a man of totally different
character who from Hart Hall had been elected to a fellow-
ship at Merton f. A few months after, he received to his ^
surprise a letter from his elder brother Anthony, who was
then travelling abroad in company with William Hatton,
afterwards Sir William, bidding him visit John Barbon,
the Fellow of Magdalen, to whom Hatton recommended
him. Barbon removed Ashley to Magdalen Hall, and there
became his tutor, where he applied himself diligently to
public declamations and disputations, gaining fluency in
I^tin speech, but not much of solid learning. Money
given him for hia necessary expenses by his parents, he
confesses to having wasted at Christmas-time in card-
playing, but by his mother's kindness he was again supplied
on his sorrowful promise of amendment. When Barbon
was deprived of his fellowship, together with TraversI,
Durdant, and others, 'doctis atque cordatis viris, nescio
quo ostracismo,' betaking himself to a small benefice in
Northamptonshire §, he commended Ashley to the care of
Harding, afterwards President, by whose advice and help
he was greatly assisted in his studies. At the beginning
of his eighteenth year he took the degree of B.A., and
at the beginning of his twentieth was elected Fellow.
Hereupon he confesses that he wasted much time in

memory is right herdn, has not been elsewhere recorded. See vol. ii, p. 187,

reading useless books, in visiting friends, and in journeys.
From a child he had a great fondness for wild romances,
such as Bevis of Hampton, Guy of Warwick, Valentine
and Orson, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round
Table, and the like, 'qualia aut nunquam exstiterunt aut
certe supra omnem fidem futilia ac vana per ociosos
monachos [!] de eis addita, ad irretiendam plebeculam, et
voluptate inescandam, conficta in superiore seculo,' and for
such reading had snatched all possible time from food,
sleep, games, and study. But now, wearied with tliese, his
knowledge of foreign languages substituted the Decameron
of Boccacio and the Octameron [sic) of the Queen of
Navarre, casting out one devil only to introduce a worse.
When he took his Master's degree, he was sufficiently
versed in grammar, in rhetoric and logic only moderately
proficient, with a smattering of philosophy, and only just
acquainted with the merest elements of music, mathematics,
arithmetic, geometry and astronomy; but he was neverthe-
less appointed in that year 'publicus Geometriae professor*,'
and discharged that office ' satis ayfu/irrpTroc.' At Christmas,
1588, he was chosen king of the revels in College, and
of these revels his account is worth quoting in full, as
giving a description not to be found elsewhere. 'Cum

At this time, while hesitating in choice between the study
of Theology or of Civil Law, he was summoned to London
by his brother Anthony (who was Clerk of the Council) to
study English Law, and was admitted, at the age of twenty-
four, into the Middle Temple. Here at the following
Christmas he acted as the King of the revels, and when
they were over was maliciously wounded by an enemy,
with whom he had thereupon a fierce aword-duel, in which
the former was badly hurt. But his brother becoming
offended by his pride and arrc^ance ('insolentiam*), as he
frankly confesses, fetched up his younger brother in his
place and maintained him in the Temple; whereupon
Robert abandoned it, and betook himself entirely to the
study of foreign languages, and, by means of his intimate
friend Sir Henry Unton, was directed by Sir F. Walsing-
ham to travel in France ; but when subsequently about to
go into Germany upon the mission thither of Horatio
Pallavicini, he was stopped by Walsingham's death. In
his twen^-fifUi year he involved himself in debt and diffi-
culty by signing a bond for a friend which he was called
on to discharge. For two or three years he then studied
music, and afterwards was induced by his iriend Sir
Thomas Baskerville to enter the army, going to France
with the troops sent by Queen Elizabeth to the help of
Henry of Navarre. At the siege of Tournay he had
a narrow escape. Sir William Constable being shot down
at his side; but falling ill he was obliged to return to
England while the army was besieging Rouen. Upon his
recovery he was recommended by his brother to Sir John
Puckering^ Keeper of the Great Seal, to be his secretary ;
but after a year or two, finding that so many amanuenses
were employed that his own profits were but small, with his
wonted inconstancy he gave the work up^ and returned,
when twenty-nme years old (therefore in 1594), to the study

of law in the Temple, and two years after, at the age of
thirty-one, was called to the Bar. When thirty-five years
of age he missed gaining some profitable appointment (the
nature of which he does not specify), which was obtained
by his younger brother, and was arrested for a debt for
money which he had borrowed on the strength of it, but
which was paid for him by his brother. A year after he
was again arrested for debt, and then his elder brother
released him. When thirty-eight years old he was treated
for some intestinal disorder by two French quacks, who
called themselves sui^ons of Mont-Bellegarde, who tor-
tured him for many weeks to no purpose ; more notes of
illnesses follow. In 1611 he was greatly troubled by the
arrest in her own house in London of his elder sister, but
for what reason he does not mention ; he was severely cen-
sured by the Lord Mayor ('summo Magistratu') for angry
interference. His sister died in prison on 29 June. He
next proceeds to narrate particulars of eleven dreams, to
which he attached great significance, in 1614 at the elec-
tion of Readers at the Temple he was passed over on
account of his poverty, and a few days after was summoned
in Westminster Hall for debt. On 14 March, 1614, he
received ft-om a barber news of the death of the young
and only son of his brother Francis, tke moon being then, as
he gravely notes, m^^flMMs. In 1618 he travelled through
France and Spain, in company, as it seems, with the famous
Sir Robert Sherley, who was then ambassador from Persia
to Spain. With this the autobiography ends, the only
additional entry being a note of a dream on 17 June, 1622.
A. Wood describes him as having returned from his travels
in France, Holland, Spain (where in the Escurial he 'did
once see a glorious golden library of Arabian books, as
he himself confesseth ' in the preface to his Almansor)
'a very knowing and complete gentleman,' having spent
some time among learned men and in the public libraries.

of Learning with several of his lucubrations,' some of

which Ashley mentions in his autobic^raphy, viz. a trans-
lation of twelve books [on general history] which he had
brought from France, a translation from the French of
a comparison of England with Spain, and a translation
into Latin verse of Du Bartas' Uranie. By the first of
these is no doubt meant his translation of the twelve books
of the treatise by Louis Le Roy, entitled ' Of the inter-
changeable course or variety of things in the whole world ;
and the concurrence of armes and learning, thorough the
first and famousest nations : from the b^inning of civility,
and memory of man, to this present ' ; fol. Lond. ' printed
by Charles Yetsweirt, Esq., at his house in Fleetestreete

John Puckering, KnL, Lord Keeper, and dated from the
Middle Temple, 6 Oct., 1594 (Magd. Library, bought in
1855). Of the second book there is no copy in the British
Museum, the Bodleian, or our own Library, and it has
been hard to trace it But it is found by a search in
Arber's Transcript of the Registers of the Stationers^ Com-
pany, where in vol. ii. f, 242^ under date of 7 Apr., 1589,

dedication to Sir Henry Unton, and commendatory verses
by Josias Mercerus. In the dedication Ashley thus speaks
of the translation of the Comparison, &c., ' Ea vero, quam

for John Parker, 1627. Dedicated to Charles I, originally
intended for James I, but ' the death of some who had under-
taken the printing, and the generall visitation of this your
realme with sicknesse, hath delayed the publishing, and
altered the designe of the Dedication.' In the preface he
says he had found a Spanish translation (printed at Sara-
goza in 1603) of the book of which the Arabic original was
in the Escurial, in the Library at Oxford, where he had spent
the best hours of some few weeks not many years sithence
in a superficial survey. The copy now in the Bodleian
bears his own autograph presentation inscription, unfor-
tunately partly mutilated. There is a copy in the College
Library, which also bears an autograph inscription, of
which the last line has in like manner been cut off by
a ruthless binder: ' Dn". Henr. Briggs, Mathematico

by John Haviland for Thomas Knight, 1637, The same
impression was re-issued in 1650, as 'printed for Humphrey
Moseley,' with a frontispiece engraved by W. Marshall,
and dated as printed for Moseley in 1648, representing
David, in reality King Charles I, playing on a harp, with
the motto beneath, ' Touch not my Anointed, and do my
prophets no harm,' and in the background an army dis-
comfited by a storm of lightning and hail, and a hand
holding a shield with the inscription 'The Lord is my
shield.' This frontispiece was added, says A. Wood, 'to
make all the impression sell off; such are the usual shifts
which booksellers use.' But there had been an entirely
different edition issued by the same publisher in 1647,
also in duodecimo, to which the frontispiece is prefixed,
and for which it was evidently originally engraved. Of
this there is a copy in the College Library, which was
bought by Dr. Bloxam in 1854.
He left the whole of his books to the Middle Temple, to
form the foundation of a Library for that Inn. For the
following particulars I am indebted to the courtesy of
Mr. Hutchinson, the Librarian. That gentleman says,
in a letter dated 27 Jan., 1899, that there is no distinct
catalogue of Ashlej^s books, but that ' their number, as far
as I am able to judge, must have been considerable ; for

and canon law. The works on English law are com-
paratively few. They are chiefly in Latin, French, Italian,
Spanish and English, and . . . would be regarded as a
very well-selected private library for the time. We have
in the Libraiy a collection of some 2,000 tracts chiefly on
political and theolc^cal subjects, relating to the time of
Charles I and the Commonwealth, and [the former part of
them] I think, though I have no record of the fact, belonged

day ' propter strepitum et tumultum in claustro dormitionis

in weight. But in the following year he was engaged with
others in the commission of a much greater oifence, no
less than a riotous assault upon the Lord Lieutenant of the
county, Lord Norreys, who had arrested some scholars
of the College for poaching deer in the Queen's forest of
Shotover. (See p. 85, supra.) Some of the culprits were
severely punished (among whom Gosling was probably one)
and others expelled. Wood's account of the riot is given

'promotionis ei^,' 23 Dec., 1613; six months* leave for
the same reason, 27 Sept., 1614 ; and one year's leave
21 Apr., 1615, on account of his being Chaplain to Sir
Ralph Winwood, the Secretary of State. Richard Love,
B.D., was presented by the Crown to the vicarage of Stoke
Lyne, Oxon, 17 Oct, 1604, and he was also presented to
the neighbouring rectory of Ardley in 1615; both these
livings became vacant in 1618, in which year our Fellow
vacated his fellowship. It is therefore clear that the latter
is to be identified with the former, and that i6t8 was the
year of his death. The early registers of both parishes
are lost.

by Strowd and Bradshaw, on account of some personal

Bond to the Visitor about it is in Harl. MS, 4340, p. 164,
in which Bond says that he is compelled to write, because
' such is the nature and operation of folly and faction

to a jurist's place, was again questioned in 1594, but it was
upheld at a meeting of officers and seniors on 29 July in
that year. In that year, however, he took Holy Orders.
On 7 July, 1598, he supplicated in Convocation for licence
to practise medicine, and was licensed ten days after ; this
is supposed by Mr. Clark (Reg. Unw. II. iii. 144) to be
a mistake in the Convocation Register for a licence to
preach, but since he held his fellowship under the title of
a physician, it is probable that the Register is correct.
Admitted B.D, 14 Dec, 1600, but his grace on previous
supplication had been objected to, very likely on the ground
of his being a physician, and on 10 Dec. President Bond
had written to the Visitor about it, saying he is forced to
trouble him with 'frivolous matters and every conceit of
distempered brains' (Harleian MS. 4240, p. 168]. He was
Praelector of Logic in 1590-1594, but neglected his duty ;
for on 16 June, 1593, he was severely threatened with the
loss of emoluments if he did not lecture to the senior logic
class as ordered by the President, and two days after was
deprived of commons. On 11 July, and not before, he
submitted, and, on promising to obey the President, was
restored. But on 12 Nov. he was deprived of everything,
on the ground that he had long ceased to lecture ; the
next day on his giving one lecture he was restored for
the one day, but nothing more was allowed until 5 Dec.
He held no further office until i6oi, when he was Dean
of Divinity, He was absent from College in 1598-9,
a year's leave being granted, ' promotionis ergo,' i Aug.,
1598, which was renewed for successive years on 3 Dec.,
1601, 9 Dec, 1602, 3 Dec, 1603, and 15 Dec, 1604. The
allowance of £^ 6s. ^d. was made to him when absent
'promotionis gratia,' and larger allowances to Parkhurst
and Winwood 'in consimili causa.' Resigned in 1605.
In 1601 he became rector of Broughton, Hunts, and in
1610 rector of Crick, Northamptonshire. Incorporated at
Cambridge in 1604.

His election resulted in a serious struggle with a royal
nominee, Thomas Pullen, M.A., of New College, a York-
shireman, was recommended for election by the Earl of
Huntingdon in a letter to the President, dated ao April,
1591, and the Earl appears also to have procured letters
mandatory from the Crown. The failure of the application
provoked great resentment, which was boldly faced by
Bond in a letter to the Earl, dated 34 Oct., 1591 *, in which
he says, ' I understand that .... Mr. Pullen proceeds to
procure sharper letters from Her Majesty with the clause
of non obstante, and so to remove Sir Milling and place
himself. I beseech your Lordship to consider this violent
course before it be effected. I warrant your Lordship
there is not to be found any one example in all her Majesty's
most happy government wherein such force hath been
offered to oaths and statutes, and so much wrong to any
person, as that a very sufficient Scholar, being elected,
sworn, and admitted into a place in any College, should
without desert be removed, and another by authority be
put in his place only because he is by his country more
capable, the statute being not peremptory for that country
only but left more indifferently with this word potius, as it
is expressed in our Statute +. Whereunto if her Majesty
be persuaded through sinister information, the truth being
known, I trust they shall receive small thanks at her
Majesty's hands for their information. I hope her Majesty
either is, or shortly will be, satisfied herein ; if not, then
Mr. Pullen may have my place in commendatn, for I shall
hardly be induced to retain the government where the laws
whereby 1 must govern shall be so easily overthrown!.'

rectory of Lympsham, Somerset, 5 Dec, 1607, which he
resigned in 1616. Elected President in succession to Bond,
19 Nov., 1610. At the first scrutiny twenty-nine votes were
given for Langton, ten for Wilkinson (who became
President in 1648), twenty for Will. Sparkes, two for John
Parkhurst, and one for Ralph Smith. Wilkinson voted for
Parkhurst and Smith. There appears to have been con-
siderable opposition to Langton 's election, for Bishop
Goodman says {Court 0/ James I, vol. i, p. 44) that the Earl
of Salisbury was so successful in his management of
business and suits, and 'so punctual and real in his
rewards, that no suit went against him, as may appear by
the preferment of his chaplain, Dr. Langton, to be
President of Magdalen College in Oxford, notwithstanding
the great opposition.'
In 1614 he subscribed twenty marks to the building of the
University Schools. He became rector of Brightwell,
Berks, in 1615, which living he retained until his death,
which occurred on 10 Oct, 1626. He was buried in the
Chapel, where, on the north wall of the ante-chapel, is a
monument with his bust, in his doctor's robes and cap,
a book in his right hand, and his left resting on a skull,
under a heavy canopy, of which the curtains are held up by
two female figures, with this inscription beneath : ' Piae

nounced over him, of which one was by Henry Hammond,
and the other by Walter Stonehouse, He appears to

mentary on Ecclesiastes, dated from Exeter College,
12 March, i6if, which is preserved in RawlJnson MS.
(Bodl. Libr.) D. 1343. Amama describes himself as being
then 'in turbatam patriam revocatus,' and as having
suffered within the preceding week the loss of his incom-
parable friend, Joh. Drusius, 'in quo tota respublica
literaria incomparabilem jacturam fecit.' Of Langton's
academic career, of which little has hitherto been known,
we learn most from Stonehouse's funeral sermon, preached
on 23 Oct., 1626, of which a copy (dedicated to Langton's
widow, by her cousin, the preacher) is in the MS. volume
of Stonehouse's sermons in the College library. It is said
that his father designed him for the service of the Church
from his earliest years, and sent him, when perfectly
instructed in the rudiments of grammar and knowledge of
the Greek and Latin tongues, to the University, at
Magdalen Hall, where he behaved himself so well, both for
honest life and diligence in study, that he was elected to

a fellowship in the College before being graced with a
degree. He was esteemed one of the ablest scholars the
University could boast of, and disputed before James I
when he visited Oxford, as told in Wake's Rex Pialonicus.
When admitted to Holy Orders he soon proved himself
one of the most frequent and famous preachers of the
time. He was chpsen by Sir Ralph Winwood to be his
Chaplain, when Winwood was Ambassador in the Low
Countries, and on his return was recommended by Dr.
John King, then Dean of Christ Church and Vice-
Chancellor, to be domestic Chaplain to the Earl of
Salisbury, resigning his fellowship soon afterwards [in
1608]. The Earl caused him to take his doctor's degree,
and when the office of President became vacant, got the
King to send his commendatory letters for his election.
These he would not unmannerly refuse, but received them
with all duty and thankfulness^ but he would not so distrust
the love of the Fellows, or wrong the freedom of their votes
and consciences, as to use them ; and therefore kept them
still sealed up until, by the freest way of unconstrained
voices, he was chosen. And now the Collie began to find the
benefit of a careful and honest Head, being thoroughly freed
fttim those intestine jars wherewith it had been distracted
during the time of the three former, though worthy, Presi-
dents. And the preacher [Stonehouse] appeals to his
hearers whether they ever knew the place so to excel in
wealth, ability of members, reputation, virtue and discipline,
as it had done for sixteen years under Langton's govern-
ance. He led the way by diligence in study, performing
himself all his courses of preaching, and those of the
College for the Tuesday lecture, until too worn by often
diseases, especially the terrible one of the stone, to be able
to endure the labour. In consequence of his weak health
he refused the office of Vice-Chancellor, and resigned that
of Chaplain to the King. His death was actually occasioned
by dropsy. During the vacation before his death he left
Oxford for the country, returning at the beginning of

on these theses : —
I. Esl peccatum in nobis reliquum. 2. Subditi motus ad quos
non accedil consensus sunt peccata, 3. Omnia non-renatorum
opera sunt peccata. (Clark's Register, II. i. 210.) It is
recorded that on 26 Nov., 1591, Wilkinson, MA. of Merton
College, having on that day ' prevented the depu^ of the
Chancellor (Dr. Birde) from proceeding to the admission
of certain candidates in the Faculty of Arts, the Vice-
Chancellor sent him to jail, there to stay on [>ain of banish-
ment from the- University till the Vice-Chancellor released
him. Wilkinson appealed to Congregation ; the Vice-
Chancellor re&iscd to admit the appeal because the Statutes
allowed no appeal " in causa perturbationis pacis," * (A.
p. 41). Pro-proctor, 159^ {ib. p. 24S and see index).
Praelector of Hebrew, 1596-1620, and probably for a longer

1610; Vice-President, 1609, 1648. He was apfwinted tutor
to Prince Henry, when the latter was matriculated at
the College in 1605, probably as being then Dean of Arts.
Principal of Magdalen Hall, 1605, bu^ licence ' ibidem per-

{Hist, and Antiq., vol. iii. p. 686) that he had in and before
1624, 300 under his care at the Hall, of whom some forty
were Masters of Arts, mostly inclined to Calvinism t. He
was ejected from the Principalship in 1643, but restored
by the authority of Parliament in 1646, Presented to the
rectory of Tubney, Berks, 19 Jan., 162^ (Ledger L. 160'').

in which capacity he assisted at the expulsion from the
College of all such of his fellow-members, being the great
majority, as would not take the oath of submission to the
visitatorial authority of Parliament. By the same authority
he was appointed President 12 Apr., 1648, in the room of
Dr. John Oliver, ejected. But he held office for a very short
time, his death occurring on 2 Jan., 16^. The following
is the entry in V. P. Reg. : ' Joannes Wilkinson, in S.S.
Theologia Professor, electus fuit et constitutus Praesidens
CoUegii Ms^dalenensis Oxon., authoritate Parliamentaria,
quo munere sibi concredito, per biennium plus minus,
summa cura, dlligentia, et fidelitate functus . . . mortem
obiit in hospitio domini Praesidis, Januarii 2°, a° millesimo
sexcentesimo quadragesimo nono.' He was buried (on
8Jan. ; Rawl. MS. B. 400 c. f. 340, Bibl. Bodl.) at Great
Milton, Oxen, in the middle of the chancel of the church
(Wood MS. Bibl. Boaif., F. 4, p. 85,where his arms are given
in colours). The surname of his wife Catherine does not
appear to be known. He had no children. The following
is Wood's caustic character of him : ' Dr. John Wilkinson,
generally accounted an illiterate testy old creature, one
that for forty years together had been the sport of the boys,
and constantly yoked with Dr. Kettle, a person more of
beard than learning, and sufficiently known never to have
preached above once in forty years, and having outlived all
the little learning he had, and his every thing but sugared
drinks and possets, was thought fit to be Sir Nathaniel
Brent's second in being revenged on learning [t. e. as Pari.
Visitor], not, as I am persuaded, that he sought afler it, but
rather put upon him, because of taking advantage of his
weakness in making him consent to anything that Mr.
Cheynell and Henry Wilkinson desired' {Annals, vol. il
part ii. p, 615). He died owing some debt to the
University, for an order was made by the General Delegates
on 33 Dec., 1653, ' that the University should proceed in
a course of law to recover all such arrears as appear to be
due from Dr. Wilkinson, late President of Ms^alen

College' {Univ. Reg. T. 225)*. There appears to be
nothing of his writing in print beyond some lines in Justa
/umbn'a Th. Bodleii, p. 11 ; in Luctus postkumus, 1612,
p. 12 ; and in Epithalamia, 1613.
In his office as President, the 'summafidelitas ' commemorated
in the notice in the Register has only been known to later
generations as displayed in malversation of funds and
disregard of statutable obligations. The scandal of the
appropriation of the reserve fund of ' spur-royals ' by
President and Fellows in 1649 is well Icnown, from the
account given by Fuller in his Church History, book ix,
by Heylin in his Examm Hisloriatm, pp. 268-9, by
Hen. Hickman, in his reply to Heylin at the end of his
Justification of the Fathers, &c., and by Chandler in his
LifeofWaynfleie, pp. 391-5. On July 8, on breaking forcibly
into the Muniment Room, of which he had not the keys,
to find the original Statute book (the ejected Fellows
having carried away the copies), Wilkinson and the newly
appointed officers found in a small trunk with three locks
(which is still in the room) 1411 gold pieces called 'spur-
royals ' or pistolets, which the Founder had directed to be
kept in store under the title of Mutuum Placitorum. This
unlooked for windfall ( — for its existence appears to have
been unknown to the pilferers — ) they forthwith divided
among all the members of the College, the President
getting 100 pieces, and each of thirty Fellows thirty or
thirty-three. The coins were exchanged at the rate of
165. 6d. apiece, or, as Hickman aays, from i8s. &d. to aos.
Wood says that the President was at first unwilling to take
a share, but was prevailed upon by the solicitations of
Henry Wilkinson, then Vice-President, and by representa-
tions that it would be some provision for his wife in case
he should die soon; and Hickman also testifies to his
unwillingness. After his death the Committee of Parliament
hearing of the matter made some inquiry into it, the result

being that by degrees a part began to be repaid ; in 1659
the Vice-President, three Fellows, five Demies, and the
head Cook repaid their portions, Dr. Clerk (who in his
MS. note-book narrates in 1662 some of the particulars)
giving back eighteen pieces, and paying for his further
share £10 i6s., Thomas Cracroft refunding £26 55., and
Hickman repaying his share. In 1679 all had been
restored except Wilkinson's hundred pieces and three
hundred due from ten Fellows. Tlie coins were at last
exchanged in 1789 for current money of the realm, except
a few which are still preserved in their old bag. There
were, in 1789, 265 larger gold coins, and 75 smaller, of
which the former were reckoned to be worth £1 or £1 is.,
and the whole to be worth £312. Copies of correspondence
with the Visitor on the subject are in the Vice-President's
Register for the time.

for having taken his bachelor's d^ee on the preceding
day, before the rest of the same class, without leave, and

in 1595 for neglect of study, and ordered to spend one hour
a day for two weeks in the Library. He was admitted
to a lawyer's place, i Aug., 1598. On 24 Apr., 160a, he
had a year's leave to be with the ambassador in France,
with an allowance of 2s. 6rf. weekly. From 1610 onwards,
until he resigned his fellowship in 1633, he appears &om
the perpetually renewed leaves of absence to have lived
chiefly abroad, especially in Spain with the Earl of Bristol.
On 31 Dec, 1610, and the following 29 Jan., he had a year's

datory lines signed ' I. M,' preiized to the folio Shakespeare
of 1633. Latin verses by him are prefixed to Florio's New
World of Words,i€>\i. Harl. MS, 5077 contains 'Observa-

folio volume as being 'an Appendix ... to that great work
wherewith I presented you the last year,* apparently
entitled Practicks of Meditations. This has not been
traced as being in existence ; it does not appear in Arber's
Transcript of the Stationers' Registers as having been
printed in 1625, and probably, like its Appendix, remained
in manuscript. The date of Mabbe's death is not known,
but it was about 1642.

he was instituted 34 July. He remained here until 1639,
when he appears to have resigned, his successor being
instituted 30 March in that year, while the words 'per
mortem ' as cause of the vacancy have been struck out in
the record (Dioc. Registry). Foster {Alumni Oxon.) says,
'Possibly rector of East Ilsley,' Berks, 1630. In his
dedication to Sir Richard Blunt of his sermon preached
at Henley, 27 April, 1626, dated 'from my study at Greys,
this 4* of May, 1626,' he says, ' I was taken out of that
famous nursery, Magdalen College in Oxford, by the
liberall favour under Gods providence of my Right Honour-
able good Lord and right zealous Patron, Viscount
Wallingford, together with his worthie spouse, my right

In the library of Lord Robartes at Lanhydrock, Cornwall,

in stanzas of six and four lines, occupying 45 leaves. The
author says that he is a poor aged minister, with eyesight
and hearing and memory impaired. There was no other
member of the College of this name, and as nothing appears
to be known about him after his quitting Rotherfield, he
may have drifted down to Cornwall, but since he was born
in 1577, he would only have been about 6a in 1639, while

successor in the canoniy was not appointed until the

In 1639, while the war between the King and the Scots was
in progress, he went to Scotland with the hope of effecting
somewhat towards a reconciliation, and was the bearer to
the King of the Supplication which was drawn up by
Henderson, and of the letters from Argyle to the Earls
of Pembroke and Holland. Moseley is described by
Edward Norgate (secretary to Secretary Coke) as ' a grave
and well-spoken divine,' 'an Oxford man of Maudlin.' He
said he had never heard a word in Scotland from any
Scot which savoured of disaffection ; in their churches
they daily prayed for his Majesty with great passion.
He had often had discourses with Lesley, who was in a
mean lodging in Edinburgh, meanly attended. Although
he had himself been sometimes taken for a bishop, and
addressed as 'my Lord,' as wearing a very formal and
canonical priest" s coat, yet he had never received the least
aflronL But the doctor's man said that his master was
dea^ or else would have a different story to tell, for
Scottish women, on seeing him pass, had called out 'If
thou beest a bishop the deil hold thy head,' and 'A cauld
cast in thy chops,* and ' My mallison on thee.' He went
to Glasgow, where he was blamed for visiting the sick
Bishop [Pat Lindsay], who was an excommunicate pterson,
but when he told them he knew not of it they were satisfied*.
He stayed in Edinburgh for a fortnight, and leaving it on
May 14 came to Newcastle in four days. A news-letter from
I^ith on 24 May shows that he got into trouble by his unau-
thorized though well-meant intermeddlit^, and that after his
return from Edinburgh he was in consequence arrested : —

£1000 after 1660, to which he added £50 by his will in

prove that the whole of these amounts was spent upon the

Michael Oldisworth, formerly recommended, B.A., i Dec.,
1613 ; M.A., 15 Jan., i6if. A year's leave was granted to
him, 'profecturo in partes transmarinas,' 18 July, 1618, with
4s. weekly and all the other emoluments he would have had
at home, with the sanction of the Bishop of Winchester ;
renewed 4 Sept, 1619, and again, ' perigrinationis ergo,' in
three successive years, 37 Aug., 1620, 30 July, 1631, and
a May, 1622. In the latter year he resigned.

Matriculated at Queen's College ai Nov., 1606, aged 15.
B.A-, 10 June, 1611. M.A., 5 July, 1614. Resigned 1616.
Probably it was about that time that he became secretary to
William Herbert, third Earl of Pembroke, Lord Chamber-
lain, and the appointment was no doubt throi^h the influ-
ence of his father, Arnold Oldisworth, who had been M.P.
for Tr^ony, and was then keeper of the hanaper in
Chancery. From his connexion with the Earl, Michael
sat in Parliament for Old Sarum in 1624-1628, and was
vainly recommended in 1627 for election to represent
the University by his patron, who was the Chancellor.
After the death of the latter he became in 1637 secretary to
his brother Philip, and thenceforward became identified
with the Parliamentary side in the struggle with the King,
and is said by Wood {Fasti, sub anno 1614) to have gained
such influence with the Earl that ' he led him by the nose
as he pleased.' In 1640 he was in both the Short and
Long Parliaments as member for Salisbuty, and appeared
as a witness against Laud at bis trial in 1644. He was

made one of the Masters of the Prerogative Office in
reward for his party services, and retained the post until
his death. On the death of the Earl of Pembroke in 1650
he was one of his executors, and succeeded him as Keeper
of Windsor Great Park. In 1651 he was appointed a
Commissioner to inquire into an insurrection in South
Wales, and is supposed to have died in 1654.
Some lines by him are in Lucius Posthumus, 1612, pp. 34-6 ;
and there appears to be nothing else of his writing in print,
the tract included under his name in Heame's Curious
Discourses having been written by his father. A life of him
is in vol. xlii of the Diet, of National Biography, written by
Mr. Sidney Lee, who notices various royalist satires in
which Oldisworth was ridiculed.

A year's leave was given, with weekly allowance of 45., while
absent in Spain as chaplain to Digby, 27 {not 22) May, 1617,
and again 7 Feb., 162J, 24 Dec, 1631, 18 Dec., 1622, and
24 Dec., 1623. But although he thus had leave of absence
for the year 1622, he was elected Praelector of Theology on
9 March, 162}, and so it may be assumed that he was
then resident, and he retained that oiBce until elected
President in 1626. An account of the work done in
the Chapel during his Presidency is given by Bloxam
in the preface to the second volume of his Register,
pp. Ixxxix-xcvi, and the entries of the money paid on
this account will be found in the extracts from the Libri
Contputi, ibid., pp. 280-283. To the year 1635 also is

And yet no further than a wanton's bird,

Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves.

So loving-jealous of his liberty.'

which he vas instituted 3 Oct, 1631. Hunter {South York-
skrre, iL tt6) says that he was held in great esteem by the
Savile family, and by Sir John Jackson of Hickleton, who
was the centre of a literary circle in which Stonehouse was
included, and in which Lightfoot, Sir Henry Wotton, and
Bishop Morton were sometimes fomid. He 'was an early
student in natural history, and one of the first Ei^lishmen
irtio made any collection of coins and medals. They were
purchased after his death by [Thomas] Lord Fairfax, and
eventually formed the basis of that department of the very
curious museum formed by Thoresby in his house at
Leeds.' Hunter's statement is derived from a note in the
Catalogue of the MSS. in Ralph Thoresb/s Museum,
p. 87, part ii of the second edition ofMusaeum ThoresbyoMum,
edited by Dr. T. D. Whitaker, and attached by him to his
Dtuaius Leodiensis, foL 1816. In this collection there was
a MS. of Stonehouse's, entitled 'Numtnonun antiquorum
Thesaurus.' Hunter adds, 'He has a poem in the collection
of verses to the memory of Sir Rowland Cotton of Bella-
port in Shropshire,* which was published under the title of
Parentalia in 1635. Walker {Sufferings of Ae Clergy, 373)
says that he was forcibly ejected from Darfield by the
Parliamentary Commissioners and imprisoned. He died
17 July, 1655 (Sixth Report of Hi^ MSS. CommissioH,

happily wanting) ; shelf-marked, 4°, L. 66 Art Two MSS.

£4 14s. I immediately communicated with Dr. Bloxam,
who happily secured it for our library*. On the title-
page is an ei^aved label of an eagle fastened to a stand
with a scroll bearing the words, 'Servus natus theologus.'
Ilie volume begins with a Ioi% biddit^-prayer, in which
Stonehouse's two Colleges are commemorated, and the
subsequent contents are as follows. Three sermons on
Conversion, on St Luke vil 37, 38, the first preached in
College, the others at St Mary's, Oxford. On Baptism, on
St John iii. 5, with a preface to Mrs. Anne Cheiney, dated,
'from Bersteede in Kente,' i Jan,, 1625. On the Cowrie
Conspiracy {Ps. Ixii. 4, 5), at St Martin's, Oxford, 5 Aug.,
1623. At President Langton's funeral (Ps. xlix. 10), with
a preface to Mrs. MaryLangton, the widow, who is addressed
as beii^ his cousin, preached in the College 23 Oct, 1626.
(From this some extracts are given in the account of Langton,
pp. 114-5, supra.) Three at St Mary's, of which one was
on Easter Monday, 14 Apr., 1633. Two at College, the
second on St John Bapt Day, 1629. One at Paul's Cross,

On 8 Feb., 16%^, he was collated to a prebend in Peter-
borough Cathedral, which was'vacant by the resignation of
his father, Dr. Robert Williamson, whom he appears also
to have succeeded in the rectory of Tichmarsh, Northants.
In 1636 he was appointed one of the delegates for reforma-
tion of the University Statutes. He was one of the few
Fellows who submitted to the authority of the Parliamentary
Visitors on 3 May, 1648, and consequently retained his
fellowship. F¥es. Wilkinson appointed him and Dr. Pelham,
with the Visitors' consent, on 12 May to receive all moneys
due to the College from tenants and others; but Anth.
Chibnall, the Bursar, refused to obey an order to deliver
up to them the necessary registers and books (Burrows'
Register of the Visitors, 1881, p. 83), for which he was
ordered to be detained in custody until he did so {tb. p. 88).
He was one of twenty del^ates appointed by the Proctors
as a standing Council on all matters relating to the Uni-
versity (ni. p. loa »,). He died 12 Apr., 1652. The inventory
of his goods, taken the day following, is in the Univ. Archives.
In money he left £273 i8s. 6rf., and £50 were due to him

persuasions of his learned friend Mr, Buckner ' that Heylyn
was induced to study theology closely and to take orders.
Praelector of Rhetoric 1621-1635 Had one year's leave

1644, Vice-President. Librarian, 1623-5. His answer to
the inquiiy of the Parliamentary Visitors on 3 May, 1648,
whether he submitted to the authority of Parliament in the
visitation was that he had 'taken an oath not to give an
answer to any but my own Visitor in my own College'
(Burrows, Register of the Visitors, p. 28). Hereupon he
was on 26 May deprived of his fellowship and expelled
the University (ib. p. 114), and on June 29 was, in common
with many others, required to remove, or, on failure of
obedience, to be ejected by the soldiery of the garrison

2 Oct by the Visitors reporting to the Committee of the

have liberty to stay two months at Ifiley. In 1660 he was
restored to the r^btful possession of his fellowship, and

To the long and full account there given there is nothing
to add, nor is it needed in any case to relate here par-
ticulars of the life of one who is found in every biographical
dictionary. All the notices occurring in the Collie records
^pear to have been copied by Dr. Blozam. As small
corrections of the latter's account it is to be noted that
Heylyn's appointment to be Chaplain to Charles I was in
Jan., i6|j, and that his appointment to the rectory of
Alresford was in 1633, not 1638. The Rawlinson MS.
quoted in Blozam's note on p. 63 is now marked as 'A 353.'
In Tanner MS. 69, f. 174, are some lines written by Heylyn
on the fly-leaf of a copy of his Microcosm which he gave to

(also a volume of Heame's miscellaneous collections),
probably written about 165&-9, is addressed to Fell, and
relates to two abortive projects of the latter, the one, as it
seems, of an edition of the works of some of the early

Fathers, and the other a collection of authoritative books
published at the commencement of the Reformation in
England : —
'Deare Sir, I received yours, and though I was offerd
Mr. Jenkins's favour for a speedyer conveighance, yet his
stay was so short (and like one of yours) that I could not
then make use of it, and shall therefore now hasten to give
you my sence of your two proposalls. Your first, which is
of the larger size (and fitter for one as yong as yourself to
proiect long before then for him that is old, and you say
broken, and I suppose hath not yet protected, to undertake)
may have some obiections also against it For if the work
were already praepared as farr as all the antient writers
which can come under consideration, yet it would be hard,
vei7 hard, to print and vend a full edition of them (the
Romanists being supposed out of this number by their
inclinations, if there should nott also bee an interdict) among
Protestants. For they that have the authors already will
hardly be at so great a chai^ to buy them again, for the
not very many and grand variations, unless there be
excellent comments ioyned, which beside that they will
not be proper for all, so they would vastly encrease the bulk,
charge and di£BcuIty. Were not ytt the only proper course
to collect all such changes, and publish them in Miscellanyes
or Critica? And then the question will bee whither our
countrymen Dr. James and Cooke have not done neer
as much already as the manuscripts of this kingdome will
furnish with.
' Your second designe I was full of some 4 years since, and
thought it would be fit to begin it with printing the first
bookes in Henty VIII's dayes, De vera difierentia, de
obedientia. Institution of a Christian man, &c. I then wrote
about it to Dr. Heylin, he waved it ; I sought Clem. Spelman,
hearing he had of his father's a large Supellex toward this
history, he promised me a s^ht of all, but never performed,
and so it dyed with me I know one old Mr. [RKkani]

In the fonner volume {D. 317, pp. 3, 4) there are also some
notes by William Fulman of Hammond's life, which were pro-
bably written by him for Fell, but which are not incorporated
in Fell's memoir. After mentioning that Hammond, when
set at liberty in Sept. 1648, went into Bedfordshire to
Mr, (afterwards Sir Philip) Warwick's, he proceeds, ' Here
he continued about two years, often preaching in the parish
church, the poverty of the place protecting the minister
in his readily the Common Prayer, and observing the
orders of the Church.' About April or May, 1650, ' died
his aged mother, whom he could not visit in her last
sickness by reason of a late order restraining those of the
King's party within five miles of their home. Oct. 15.
About the end of that summer he removed into Worcester-
shire. After the departure of their \ike Pakingions'}
chaplain, Mr. Sudbury, he used to preach constantly in
the family every Sunday.
'Of the excellence of his preaching you are better able to
speak than I ; but of the ease with which he did it I can say
this, that he bestowed no more time upon his sermon than
the morning before he preached, and then only writ those
veiy short notes, which yet I think he caried not to church
with him, at least never made use of them. Now in his
Digitized by Google
itas] FELLOWS. 163
preaching at Westwood, that his method as well as matter
m^ht be more profitable to the hearers, after some prae-
paratory sermons, he began with the Apostles' Creed, and,
passing throu^ every article, shewed how it was funda-
mental to reformation of life. Then he proceeded to the
Commandments. His discourse upon the last Command-
ment happened about the time when Cromwell's order of
Novemb. 34 [4 Oct., 1655] forbad sequestred men to
officiate any longer; at which time, 1655, Dec. 33, he
concluded his sermon with words to this purpose. "That
now, if he should never speak word more to them from
God, yet he had delivered to them the whole counsel of
God concerning their salvation, the Cndatda and /acimda,
all that was needfiill for them to belive or to doe. And if
they knew these things, hapy were they if they did them.
If they knew them and did them not^ then most unhapy
were they to all aetemity. If they were not perfectly in-
structed in them, it would be the greatest oblong to him
for any the meanest of them all to inquire of him, and desire
his advise and instruction in any thing whereby they mig^t
grow in grace and in the knowIet^eofourX^rd and Saviour
Jesus Christ."
* ifiS^i Jun- Upon this occasion [viz. (*« above-tHentitmed pro-
chmatioti] he wrote the Paraerusis, as you may see by the
praeface to that book.'
In a bookseller's catalogue of MSS. (not, I believe, one of
Tho. Thorpe's) issued apparently after 1868, from which
I have a cutting, but have omitted to note the source,
there was a letter (No. 5869), priced at £4 45. (described
as 'excessively rare') from Hammond to Dr. Tho. Turner,
dated 17 July [1648] from Oxford, in which he thus refers
to the sermon preached before the King a year before, at
Carisbrooke, of which the King had sent for a copy. (See
Fell's t^e, edit. 1661, p. 54.) ' I received a letter from the
Governor of the Isle of Wight [i.e. Hammond's nephew,
Robert Hammond], dated July 7, in these words: "The
Kii^ did lately command mee to send to you for two

sermons preached while his chaplains were here, one your
own, the other Dr. Turner's. I desire you will take order
for the sending them hither with the first opportunity,
that so they may be presented' to his Majesty. Sir,
irfiatever you heare of mee, believe mee an honest man."
I have given you the whole letter, and have obeyed it
as far as my part comes, and sent the copy of mine
with a letter to the Governor.' This sermon, entitled
The Christian's obligation to peace and charity, preached
in Advent 1647, was printed, with others, in 1649. Before
attending upon the king at Carisbrooke, Hammond had gone
with Sheldon and the Duke of Richmond to him at Hatfield,
from whence they were ordered to be removed by the
House of Commons on 28 June, 16+7.
A letter from Dr. G, Morley to the Chancellor Hyde, giving
an account (derived from Lady Pakington) of Hammond's
last illness and death, dated i May, 1660, exists among the
Clarendon MSS,, and is printed in vol. iii of the Clarendon
State Papers, 1786, p. 735. Morley says that the news of
'the death of that dear friend of ours, and that ornament
and pillar of our Church, Dr. Hammond,' is 'bad enough to
allay any good news I can send you.' He adds that not
only all Hammond's and the Church's friends are aSIicted
at his death, but also ' some that were neither his nor the
Church's friends seem to be, as being ashamed not to appear
concerned at the loss of so much learning and virtue.*
Four interesting letters to Hammond from Thomas Sydserf
(as he is usually called, but who signs as ' Sainctserf ' and
' Saintserf '), Bishop of Orkney, are in Rawlinson MS. D. 317.
They are dated from Edinbui^h between 31 March, 1657, and
35 Jan., 1659 (N.S.) ; the first contains some biographical
notes about Scottish divines, and the others deal with the
language of Grotiua with reference to the Atonement with
re-marriage after divorce, and the administration of sacra-
ments by a layman in the absence of a priest.

says, of his performing his office 'with great commendation,
being then accounted a serious person in his studies, devout,
and strict in his conversation, and therefore a Puritan by
others. He had in him a singular dexterity in the arts,
a depth of judgement, acuteness of wit, and great skill in
the Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic languages, which made
him noted amonf^ and reverenced by, the Academians.'
(In this commendation Wood is quoting from Lyford's
introduction to Pinke's Sermons mentioned below.) He
died 24 Dec, 1628, aged 27. Wood, who did not know the
exact date of his death, or his age, says, also erroneously,
that he was buried in the College chapel ; the actual place
of burial was in North Waltham Church, near Basingstoke.
In 1876 Mr. F. J. Baigent, the well-known antiquary of
Winchester, sent to Dr. Bloxam a copy of the following in-
scripUon, which he had found in that church on a brass plate,
within a black frame, on the north wall of the chancel : ' M. S.

Cameron, Professor o! Theology at Saumur, entitled
'Traicti auquel sont examines les preit^ez de ceuz de
I'Eglise Romaine, contre la Religion Reformee,' which
was published at La Rochelle in 1617. Pinke's transladon
is endded, An txatttinaiion of ifiose plausible appearances
which seeme most to commend the Romish Church, and to
preiudice the Reformed. It is anonymous, but White Kennett
says there was a dedication to the Skinners' Company,
signed W. P., ' acknowledging his engagements to the whole
Company, and reverencing the memory of that worthy
knight, Sir James Lancaster.' Strange to say, this de-
dicadon is not found in either of two copies in the Bodleian
Library, nor in a copy in the British Museum. (See F.
Madan's Early Oiford Press, 1895, P* ^30-) The book is

Lyibrd says in his dedication that Digby had made Pinke
one of his ' Readers ' (tutors 7) while at College on account
of his abili^ and learning, 'in which time you so obliged
him by the abundant testimonies of your good affection to
him that he oft professed to me how great and just an
interest your merits claimed in all his studies and labour.'
Wood says that he left ' behind him other things fit to be
printed, as I have been informed by those that were well
acquainted with the man,' and Lyford remarks that some

what he attempted in the Greek antiquities and observations

Library contains a small collection of Flares selected from
books i-iv of the Saturnalia of Macrobius, dedicated by
Pinke to a kinsman, Dr. Robert Pinke, Warden of New

degree of relationship in which he stood.

he was committed to the custody of the Sei^ant-at-arms
for withholding tithes from the [intruded] rector of Staple-
ford Tawney, Essex, but gives no authority for his statement,
and there does not appear to be any mention of the case
in the Journals of the House of Commons for that year.
But it appears from the Calendar of the MSS. of the House
of Lords, printed in the Sixth Report of the Commission on
Historical MSS. (1877, pp. 42, 45)^ that in Jan. and Feb.,
164^, Mary Nicholson, wife of the sequestered rector,
Richard Nicholson, of that parish, who had been succeeded
by one Daniel Joyner, prayed for an allowance of one-fifth
of the profits of the living ; and it is therefore probable
that our ex-fellow, who possessed property in the parish,
paid the tithes which were due from him to his own
kinsman, the one justly entitled to them, instead of handing
them to the intruder *. In i66g he was appointed Chancellor
of the diocese of Gloucester by his brother William, who
was the bishop. Died in 1677 (Rudder's Hist, cf Gloucester-

rector of Standlake, he was presented by Sir Edmund Pye,
Bart, to the rectory of Leckhampstcad, Bucks, in 1643,
from which he was sequestered in 1646; and his then
intruded successor, George Nowell, was followed by one
William Hart in 1650. The sequestration is mentioned in
die parish register (Lipscomb's Buckinghamshire, iii. 37,
30), But there is a discrepancy in accounts of the occupa-
tion of this living. The Journals of the House of Lords
(viii, 586, cited correctly in Shaw's Hist, of Engl. Ck,
1640-60, ii. 334) record the appointment by the House of
Joseph Nowell to Lcckhampstead, Bucks, loco George
Holme, deceased, on i Dec., 1646. George Holmes,
according to Lipscomb, was presented in i6a6, and was
succeeded by George Bate in i6a8, upon whom Langton

He was amoi^t the fellows who were restored in 1660,
but restoration to an office in College appears to have

Died in 1658 or 1659. Foster suggests that he may have
been the John Harris who was rector of Passoiham,
Northants, 1633-58, and of Overslone in the same county
i633-'43r and this is probably correct. But Foster also
describes him as having been vicar of Banbury from 1639
to 1641, which appears to be a mistake ; for in the Institu-
tion Books of the diocese of Oxford the presentation of
John Howes, MA., on 6 June, 1639, is recorded, and his
induction on 8 June is entered in the parish register.

answer on 29 May, 1648, was this : ' So far as Ozon
Articles (whereof I have the benefit, and upon which I have
compounded) do oblige me, and so far as my former oaths
and my conscience will allow me, I submit to the authority
of the Parliament, and no further' (Burrows' Reg. of
Visitors, 118). Upon this he was ordered on 14 June, by
the Committee for Oxford of the Lords and Commons, to
be removed, and was finally expelled on 16 Oct. {ib. 134,

5 July, 1660. In 1664 he became an advocate of Doctors'
Commons, and was Chancellor of the diocese of Peter-
borough. He was also Master of the Hospital at North-
ampton. He married Anne, daughter of Thomas Smyth,
alderman of Oxford.

' I intreat farther advisement and information in this matter,

not submitting, and on 14 July as not appearing upon

Reg. of Visitors, pp. 28, 89, 165, 197), but was restored in
1660, In 1663 he was presented to the rectory of Great
Stanmore, Middlesex, and to that of Holton, Oxon, in 1665;
and in consequence, when appointed Praelector of Theology
10 Aug., 1668, the appointment was objected to by John
Bnce, on the ground that he held two livings above the
statutable value, and therefore was no longer capable of
holding his fellowship; but upon consultation with the
Visitor and various lawyers, it was determined that there
was no doubt as to the l^ality of his position. Prebendary

Harby and others for recovery of £900, lent by the said

He, with John Dale, sen., certified that during the whole
period of Goodwin's and Wilkinson's holding office as
Presidents, the Holy Communion was never publicly, nor,
so far as they knew, privately, administered in College
(Rawlinson MS., Bodl. Libr., D. 317, f. 7a). This seems
to show that he could not have been deprived of his fellow-

1661, Although he retained his fellowship by submission
to the Visitation in 1648, he did not hold any College office
during the Interregnum, and that his sympathy with the
Church and Monarchy continued, and must have been
known, is evidenced by his promotion immediately on the
Restoration. It is also abundantly manifested by his own
sufferings in spite of his submission. For in his preface
(dated a6 Dec, 1661} to his sermons(printed by request)
Eb'as the Second and Moses the Peacemaker, 1662 (after
saying that his having to preach them was a matter of great
fear with regard to his audience, and adding 'yet although
one woe is past, behold two more are coming, I mean, the
printing and publishing' of them), he begs his readers to
consider ' I was a man (beyond the common condition of
men) bom to troubles in this world, which (crowding in
upon me through some inevitable misfortunes) for this
twenty years have found me somewhat else to do then
to meddle much with books, unlesse they were Debt-books,
and suchlike sad old Manuscripts, the Crossing of which,
rather then the Marking any other, hath been the greatest
part of my employment. For this I blesse the God of
Heaven, who by an invisible hand hath held me up, and
brought me hitherto. But besides that, the constant task of
preaching for many years might well exhaust a greater
stock of reading then ever I could be guilty of, having had
so short a time (I am sure I find it so) to gather in the
University, and so long a time to scatter in the Country.
' But beyond all this ; an order for sequestration ; when a party
of souldiers from Warwick Castle, coming with swords in
one hand and Gilbert Millington* in the other, brake in
upon me, through (sic) me out of my Livii^ (too near the

unto this day. Much about the same time (those times of
dispersion) as my Parsonage house was broken in the
country, my Study (or rather myself) was broken m Oxford,
friiere I lost all my Books (except two or diree of the most
inconsiderable) and (that which most undid me) all my
Papers, so that thereby I was perfectly reduced to his
condition, — Qui totum perdidit Id Nil (Pers. Sat. *). Com-
paring which losses (and some other misfortunes, which
afterward befell me) with the abundance of blessings I had
formerly there received, I may say of that Weeping eye
(whose very name is precious, and will ever be honourable
with me, S. M. Magd. Col., Oxon), the same Fountain sent
forth the sweetest, and some of the bitterest waters that
ever I tasted of.'
His sermons manifest considerable learning in spite of the loss
of his books, with much quaint and original thought and expres-
sion. In his sermon entitled Confirmafion revived, he more
than once quotes bis co-fellow Hammond's Latin treatise on
the rite, and calls him the great ornament of the Church.

of a prompt change of opinions upon the Restoration.
Resigned i66a, having been appointed to the rectory of
Standlake on 4 Dec, 1660. He obtained a dispensation in
Jan., 166}, to hold with Standlake the rectoiy of Romold-
kirk, or Rumbold-kirk, in Yorkshire, on the plea that he had
been at great charge on the chancel and parsonage of the
former place [Col. S. P. Dom. 1665, pp. 181, 400). In
confirmation of his having been at some expense there
in house-repairs, the present rector (my former colleague as
chaplain), Rev. L. S. Tuckwell, writes to me thus, under
date of 34 Jan., 1900 : ' A few years ago, in stripping some
plaster from a chimney I found these letters and figures cut
in the stone, " 1661. I. D," ' Wood correctly, but not very
clearly, proceeds to state that by an exchange he was then
'inducted into the rectory of Longworth in Berks (near
Stanlake),' and adds that he was 'deprived of it soon after
for simony.' He exchanged his Yorkshire parish in 1665,
the year in which he obtained it, with Peter Ingram, the
rector of Longworth, but of the alleged simony and of his
consequent deprivation I have not found any particulars;
the latter cannot, at any rate, have taken place soon after,
as his successor at Longworth, Jonathan Bl^;rave, was not
appointed until 1681 *. He died at Standlake, 14 Nov.,
1684 (on which day his will was dated), and was buried on
17 Nov., in the chancel, but there is no memorial stone
there. He published a small volume entitled Anafysis of
all ike Epistles of the New Testament, Q°, Oxf., 1652 (in the
College Library), of which the pre&ce is dated from his
'study in Magd. Coll.,' 11 May, 1652; and Wood says that
he 'had written another book, as I have heard, St for the
press, but was never printed ' ; and this remains unknown.

ridiculed shortly after the Restoration in a Tetrae Fiims
speech, said to be by one Brooks, M.A., of Ch. Ch,
[Joseph Brookes, or Brooke, M.A. in 1663 *], which exists
in Rawlinson MS. D. mo in the Bodleian Library. He
is coarsely satirized for the dissections made by him as
Praelector of Anatomy, in which he was said to be the
assistant of the Regius Professor of Medicine, the Warden
of Merton [Sir T. Clayton] : ' huic inservit pro dissecandis

speaks veiy severely of him [Life, ii. 243) when recording
his election as President on 5 March, 167} : ' lazy and idle,
scarlaticall t, controuled diseases, and let the College rule
itself.' In Feb., 168}, he mentions his calling on the
President to see some admission registers, and apparently
did not relish his reception, although his application was
not refused.
Among the College MSS. are preserved (as described in
vol. ii. of this Register, p. 217) two volumes in Gierke's
handwritii^, which evidence his attention to College
business, and his knowledge of its records and mimiments.
The one contains numerous notes and extracts relative to
various estates and parishes, showing that he was well
qualified by his knowledge of particulars for the office of
bursar which he so frequently held. And the other is his
diary of College affairs in i684-6y from which it plainly
appears that differences were often many and great Various
extracts will be given in our next volume in the Chronicle
of the three years, and some long passages relating to
Dr. Thomas Smith and Dr. R<:^rs, the organist, have
been printed by Dr. Bloxam, as well as others relating
to the College doles {vol. ii. p. cxlii), John Smyth, a clerk
(ib. 81), the old organ (ib, cxxvii).

Bursar, 1688, To the interesting account given by Bloxam,
from Wood and Heame, there does not appear to be any-
thing to be added, beyond a few additional notes from
Wood's Ltye, as edited by Clark. When prosecuted as
a papist at the quarter sessions at Oxford on 7 Jan., 1675,
he was 'out of his wits,' and on that day and the next
begged a lodging of Wood : ' I granted it, but he was not
privat John Nicholas prosecuted him closely, but soon
lagged when the Parliament was prorogued' (vol. ii. p-433).
When restored to his fellowship by James H, and made
Bursar, he told Wood, when the latter was dining with him
on 4 March, i68|^, that the fellows who had been turned out
had pawned most part of the College plate to Daniel Porter,
a goldsmith in Oxford, for £700 (altered by Wood to £150^
to carry on the controversies with the Ecclesiastical Com-
missioners; that he had then received no rents or had
any fines come in, and that the College was behindhand

1643. Hooper, William. Demy, 1637 ; Dent, Reg. ii. 150-2.
To him, 'infirmo et absenti,' £2 los. were allowed for his
commons in 1647. And in that year he was removed from
his fellowship on account of his having become distracted
(doubtless from the troubles of the time, he being a royalist),
and an allowance was made to him, which in 1650 and in
1651 was £18. On 7 Dec, 1653, the following order was
made by the Parliamentary Visitors : ' Whereas M r. Hooper,
of Magdalen Colledge, was (about 7 yeares since) removed
fr«m the said Colledge upon accompt of a distemper, having
ever since the allowance apportioned to such persons (by
a Statute in that case provided) paid unto him or for his
use: The Visitors beii^ acquainted diat the said Mr.
Hooper, notwithstanding evidences of the continuance of
his distemper, hath essayed to come into the Hall of the
said Colledge, and to possesse himselfe of the place and
ri{^ts of a Senior Fellow, of his ownc accord, without any
orderly Collegiate Act for his restitution, to the great
disturbance of the good government of the Colledge : The
Visitors, upon search and enquiry into the whole matter,
with the President and Officers of the said Colledge, doe
order. That the said Mr. Hooper be not permitted to come
into the Hall of the said Colledge, nor otherwise to take
upon him the enjoyment or exercise of the privilet^es of
a Fellow. And the President, Officers, and Fellows of the

said CoUedge are hereby required to take notice of this
order. And that noe person of the said Society doe abet
or encourage the said Mr. Hooper by any waies or meanes
in his forementioned disorderly attempt It is likewise
ordered : That it be referred to the President and OflGcers
of the Colledge to augment the usual allowance, formerly
paid to the said Mr. Hooper, as they shall see cause,
according as they have lately tendered ' {Burrows' Register,
pp. 375-6)- It was, no doubt, in consequence of this order
that the pension was raised from £18 to £30, the amount
mentioned in Heame's interesting account of Hooper cited
by Dr. Bloxam, ubi supra.
He died 21 Aug., 1695 ; and was buried on the following day
in the ante-chapel (Rawl. MS., Bodl. Lib. D. 744, f. 10, from
the Register of St. Peter's-in-the-East parish).

Demy, 1639; Dem. Reg. iL 158-172. He had a year's '
leave of absence 5 Jan., 164^. His answer to the Visitors
on 3 May, 1648, was, ' I dare not answer positively without
further deliberation'; he was consequently expelled on
15 May, and ordered on 26 May to be removed from the
College, an order which was renewed on 29 June (Burrows'
Register, 39, 89, 114, 137), On restoration in 1660 he
became Praelector of Theol., but probably retired at once
upon being appointed Canon of Canterbury and Prebendary
of Langford Major at Lincoln. His election as President
on 9 Nov., 1661, was in obedience to two letters mandatory
(the second in peremptory terms) from the King, dated
3 and 7 Nov.
To the full account of him given in the Register of Demies
there is now littie Co be added. Much correspondence with
Arehbishop Sancrol^ chiefly relating to his dispute as
Dean of Salisbuiy with the Bishop, Seth Ward, is to be

a dispensation from Archbishop Sheldon for non-attendance

of Salisbury petitioned Sancrofl against him for acting
independently of the chapter (cxliii. 20a). His submission

Pierce is much satirized in the Terrtu Films speech preserved
in Rawl. MS. D. mo (Bodl. Libr.), which is cited in the
account of Dr. H. Clerke, p. 183, supra, and evidently with
justice as regards his autocratic and arbitrary modes of
action. He is said to be in College an Aiminian, as doing
verything by free will, but he also does all things
irresistibly as if he were the Deity of the Calvinists. He
very lately ('nuperrime') challenged the Mompessian devil
to a contest, but it was deaf and dumb to him, fearing that
it might ' i»opter verba brigosa ' be cast out of its house '.
He writes against the Pope, but would condemn all the
Fellovra as heretics if they did not own his infallibili^, and
has cast a physician [i.e. Dr. Yerbury] into purgatory
because he would not kiss the feet of himself and his wife.
Hickman called him a Papist, but he has so provoked the
Pope that he was afraid to go to London without attendants;
and indeed there is need of caution against snares, for the
Pope fears him more than he does the King of France.
As rector of Brington he took the place of a sequestrated
bishop t. ' Mira fraude sphaeristerium in hortum, turpe
* This refers to the supposed demonucal manifestatioiM in the ridiculous
case of the Drumnier of Tedworth, which in i66a and 1663 for many months

for his causing tbc arrest of a vagrant drummer. The story was deemed worthy
by Prof. George Sinclair, of Glasgow, of inclosion in bis collection of similar
Darratives entitled Satan't mviaiblt worid dacovtrtd. The reference above
probably shows that the dale o{ the speech is i66a, as well as the reference

and ordered by the Visitors to be removed 29 June. Upon
the Restoration he was appointed Chancellor of York, but
resigned it before 24 Oct., 1660, when his successor was
instituted. In addition to the other preferments mentioned
by Bloxam, he was rector of Leckford, Hants, in 1660, and
in the same year sinecure rector of Llandrillo, Merioneth.

render; for under date of 10 Jan., 164I-, the following entry
occurs in the Register of the Parliamentary Visitors: —

from the latter year until 167a inclusive he was Cltricus

Temple in 1664. This shows that he was not the Nathaniel
Gyles who became a prebendary of Cloyne in 1653, as

are two letters to Joseph Williamson, dated from Magdalen
College, which are said to be from one L. Chyles. As there
is no other Chyles known as a member of the College at
that time but Nathaniel, the entries in the Calendar would
appear to be wrong. The first letter, dated 25 Sept, i€6o

Besides the many quarrels in' which he was engaged which
are recounted in Bloxam's life of him, he roused an angry
dispute in claiming to be Vice-President in 1684, when, he
being evidently to many a persona ingrata. Dr. Stafford,
who was junior to him, was elected by a majority of votes.
He thereupon appealed to the Visitor, two of whose letters
in reply, the first recommending Yerbury as ' a credit and
ornament ' to the College, while taking Stafford ' to be a very
honest gentleman," and the second desiring further in-
formation, addressed to the President, Electors and Thirteen
Seniors, exist in a tattered and mutilated condition, and are
dated from Farnham Castle, 21 Dec, 1683 and 21 Jan.,
i683{-4). These are followed by a long and final letter,
dated 15 Feb. (also tattered and tender from damp), in
which Bishop Morley resolves the case in Yerbury's favour.
The only personal objection distinctly alleged against
Yerbury appears to have been merely the very feeble one
that he had been Vice-President once already ; an objection
easily met by mentioning previous instances +. So, in the
issue, Yerbury was admitted as Vice-President in 1684, and
was succeeded by Stafford in 1685.

At p. 64, voL ii, reference was made to the Appendix to that
volume for an account of printed notices of bulls in favour of Henry
the Seventh's title to the crown, but by accident the account was
omitted. Atp. i26ofthepresentvolumethebuIlsareagainmentioned.
The sheets used as binder's waste in the book there noted contain on
each large folio page four copies of an abstract of the papal con-
firmation of Henry's clidm, m double columns of eleven hnes each, so
printed on the two sides of the leaf, viz. two on the lower part of each
side and two on the upper, that they could easily be cut up for dis-
tribution or for posting up in public places, except that for the latter
purpose their being in Latin would render them unfit. They are in
the type ofW, de Worde's LegenJa Aurea,j)nT>ted in 1498, not in that
of the books printed by him in 1495 or 1496. They were no doubt
circulated in consequence of an appeal made, under date of May 8,
1495, by Margaret Duchess of Burgundy to Alexander VI on behalf
of Perkin Warbeck, in which she declared that he and his predecessor,
Innocent VIII, had been deceived by false statements and had issued
bulls in behalf of Henry in ignorance. Her appeal is printed from
a mutilated original existing in Lambeth Libraiy, by Mr. James
Gairdner, in the Appendix to his edition of Bernard Andreas' Hhtoria

In a partial inventory taken Dec. 16, 1S93, there is added among
the plate, ' i standing cnpp which my Lord Harbeit and hts brother
gave, double gilt, weyng 16 oz.' The silver spoons have then become
6 dozen and 3, weighing 1 10 oz. and three-quarters ; the tvo gilt
goblets are changed to four white ones weighing 66 oz. and three-
quarters ; one of the five bowls is gone ; and of the twenty silver pots,
twelve have two ears and eight one ear. The linen is much less :
33 table cloths, } towels, and only 4 fine diaper table napkins and 34
coarse, while the candlesticks have fallen from 15 to 11. A salt-
cellar was bought in 1593, weighing 13} os., for £3 lat. lotf., at

5J, 6rf. the ounce. 1594, See p. 32 Apra. The inventories are con-
tinued in following jears in the paper Lib. Comp., with notes of loss,
change, and purchase. In 1600 and i6oa it is noted that inosC of
the spoons, &c. are marked with the letters M. C, while some have
G. H,, and there is 'a little white goblett called Luceya goblett.' In
1 604 four pots are ' of the Vice-President's table ' : one is described as
' Mr. Grayes pot' ; and tiiere were two new ' tun ' (i. e. tern, the third
of a quart) pots ' ex dono Rob. Dannatt.' ' Orie goblett of this yeares
exchaunge, Lord Harbett,' &c. In i6og four gifts are entered : a
double gilt goblet given by Mr. Somerset, another, with a cover,
given by Mr. Seymour, a great silver pot by Mr, Worseley, and
another by Mr. Challoner. In 1608 a broken cup of the gift of
— Doylie, M.A. [apparently Thomas Doylie, M.A. and M.D., fellow
in 1563] was exchanged. .In 1610 'Cantharus ex dono Joannis
Hamden, EuckinghamienBig ' is mentioned, which was amongst the
plate given to the King in 1643 *.
Later inventories, preserved among the MSS. in the Library, supply
very full particulars of gifts of plate in the seventeenth century. The
first is an inventory of the College goods made in the time of
Accepted Frewen (probably between 1630-40), which deals only
with the President's Lodgings and the 'chambers,' not including
the Buttery or the Bursary. It appears that ' the Founder's plate '
(undescribed) was then kept in a chest in the part of the Lodgings
described as 'the Founder's Lodgings,' In the Buttery of the
Lodgings the following articles are specified : —
' A Bason or £wre.
A silver voyder.
Two flagons.
Two long bowles.
Mr. Grays two eard pott
A great Salt.
Mr. Humphreys Can.
Mr. Westleys Can.
A dozen of spoones.
Mr. Walthals Caa'
Amounting in all to 345 ounces. The total would have been larger
if all these articles had been silver.
In Jan., i6jj, anodier inventory of the College goods was made,

which covers the contents of the Bntteiy, bnt not those of the
Bursary. It includes no list of silver, and the list of goods in
the Buttety shows that pewter vas in use at some of the tables in the
Hall. It mentions : —
' Two feire new Pewter salts bought by us this yeare
for the Bursars Table.
Twelve good Pewter salts.
Ministers Pewter Pots for the Deroyes Table.
Pewter Pots for the Clerks Table.'
The numbers are not given in the last two entries, and it may be that
the list was not completed.
In this inventory, among the goods 'in the Inner Chapel,' are
mentioned : —
' The Communion cupps.
The Plates for the bread.'
But these items, as well as two others referring to the altar linen,
are marked with the letter ' q.' The query is significant in connexion
with what is mentioned above, p. 179.

' Mr. Hawks' Tankard.
Mr. Frewen's Tankard.
Mr. Milton's Tankard.
The Probationers' pott. 74, 75, 76,'
In this list the ' potts ' are described as ' two eai'd potts,' the ' tons '
of the former lists being 'little two ear'd potts.' The difference was
therefore not one of shape, but only of size. In some of the later
lists the larger ' potts ' are described aa ' quart potts,' the smaller as
' two ear'd halfe penny pots ' and as ' pint potts.' ' Sir W. Faimor's
plate' was 'exchanged' in this year.
The list of 1680 shows no addition save for the recovery of one of
the spoons missing in 1675, which had been 'found in y« seelings of y"

In i68a the additions are : —
' Kenf s Tankard.

' To avoid useless repedtion in blazoning the arms of the College,
the Mowing phrases have been employed throughout.

It may be added that no attempt has been made to record the
occasions when the field is shown as fusilly instead of lozengy, or to
notice the various aberrations of the engraver, such, e. g., as showing
gules for sable. And no attempt has been made to deal with the
authenticity of the coats used by donors, or, as a rule, to correct errors
in the blazoning.
Occasionally tinctures not shown by hatching have been supplied,
in brackets, where other sources of information were available, but in
general the descriptions merely record what is actually shown.'

Sitver-giU Cup, with Cover.
The Founder's Cup. No mscription or arms.
The traditional belief that in this Cup we possess a relic of Waynflete
appears to our sorrow to be unfounded ; at best, it can only be
supposed to have been re-made. It is recorded in the Vice-
President's Register that the Fellows ' sent away all their plate '
to the King's Mint at Oxford in 1643, without any specification
of the pieces ; and H. Hickman, in his Advertisement appended
to his Justification of the Fathers and Schoolmen (1659), says
that the Fellows 'parted with the College plate, not the
Founder's own cnp excepted, to main'sine the warre'; and
this statement, which might not be accepted on Hickman's
mere personal authority, appears to be corroborated to some
extent by the existing cup itself. Mr. Wilfrid Cripps, the
chief living authority on old English plate, is of opinion
(judging from sketches by Mr, R. T. Gtlnther which I sent
to him), from the whole style of ornamentation as well as from
the marks, that the cup is of the date to which the year-letter
(d within a shield) assigns it, viz. 1601. The earliest list of
the plate in which it is mentioned is that of 1673, printed
at p. 3or supra, where it is called 'The Founder's Boule.'
Two hypotheses may be plausibly entertained. The oa&, that
Digitized by GOD^^IO
APPENDIX III. 223
(as has nndoubtedly been the case with some of the later plate)
the cup was re-made and re-marked (with marks, however,
which maf possibly not be altogether synchronous) in 1601,
and that Hickman was misinFormed as to the doings of his
loyalist predecessors. The other, that after the Restoration
some benefactor, of whose gift no record was made, gave a
cup of old date to take the place of the lost heirloom.
'A parallel instance is to be foimd in the "Founder's Cup"
at Wadham College, where the actual Poculum Fundatricts
appears in the list of the plate sent to the Mint, while a cup
bearing a like inscription, which could only apply to the cup
sacrificed in 1643, but of the date of 1752, has taken its
place.'*

VI. ALTAR-PLATE IN THE CHAPEL.
Silver-giU Chalices and Pa/ens (a).
Marked with the year-lettei of 1697, and the maker's initials D I
(Isaac Dighton).
On 3 March, 169J, a 'great part' of the Communion plate was
stolen from the chapel (Blosam's Seg. II. clix); hence the
replacement of the chalices and patens in this year, and the
following gift of plates.
Silver-gilt Alms-Plates (a).
With the year-letter of 1697, and maker's sign ' Ja' (Henry Jay). On
the front are the College aims, and those of the donor, viz.,
Gules, two chevrons argent; crest, a griffin's head erased

Large Silver-gilt Alms Dish.
Inscription : ' D.D. Thomas Pindar LL.D. de Bromby-Wood Ha]l in
comitata Lincolniensi hujusce CoUegii olim Socius 1798' (see
Blozam's Reg. II. csciii). In the centre within a raised star
' IHS ' ; above, Wa3Tiflete's arms with garter ensigned ; ' Colle-
gium S*" MariK Magdalenae apud Oxonienses'; below, the
donor's arms, a chevron between three lions' heads erased,
crowned; crest, a lion's head erased, crowned. Maker's
initials W. F.
This was probably given to supply the place of the large silver
offertory dish stolen 35 Feb., 1786 (Bloxam's Reg. II. clxzxiv),
which may have been the ' large guilt bason ' given by
Lord Digby before 1683 (p. 305, supra), or the 'gilded
bowl with a cover ' for purchase of which President Gierke
bequeathed fifty pounds (Bloxam, II. cxliv). In this robbery
two pairs of candlesticks were also taken, one being, no
doubt, the pdr given by 'Mr. Giles' (p. 20$), who is most
probably to be identified with the Nathaniel Giles recorded
at p. 190, supra, and the other the gift of Sir fi. B. Delves,
Bart. (Bloxam, II. clxzxiv). In their place President Home gave
in the following year a copper-gilt pair, which are now at
Theale, Berks, whither they seem to have been removed
about 1830 by President Routh, rector of the then united
parishes of Tilehurst and Theale. On the altar there are now
two handsomely-carved wooden candlesticks, excellently gilt.
Silver-gili flagons (a).
Bought in 1838 with a legacy of £100 bequeathed by Dr. John
Johnson, Fellow, in 1831, for the purchase of altar-plate,
a portion being applied also to the gilding of some already in
the chapel (Bloxam's Reg. II. ceil). Maker's initials, H S.
Cme/s (2).
Glass, with gold mountings, on a stand. Given by Rev. R. L. Ottlxx,
M.A., Dean of Divinity, on resigning his Fellowship in 1897.
In the Senior Common Room there is a flagon, silver-gilt and
chased with a pattern resembling muBsel-ehells, with no
inscription or marks, which is kept in a box-case of solid
leather. Probably this was an altar-vessel.

are in New CoUedge in Oxford. These volumes the
Doctor, I know, hath often moved the CoUedge upon very
good tearms to part with ; but the locall statutes of that
house doe make his sute in a manner impossible. But
I am glad notwithstanding, that although he could never
get these books to Welles, yet his rare Tostatus and al
the rest of his books at Welles, which come to many 1000,
are likely (if God please) to come lo Oxford ; and to meet,
if not in one Collcdge, yet in one Universitie. For, as I am
informed, he hath very bountifully and wisely passed them
all, by his deed of gift, unto the Warden and Fellowes of
Waddam CoUedge in Oxford ; of the honourable founda-
tion of Master Waddam, Esquire, late deceased, and Mistris
Waddam yet living; and long may she live to enjoy the
benefit of her gift,' &g Thomas James, Treatise of the
Corruption of Scripture, 4° Lond. 161 1, part 4, pp. 99-100.
P. i6a Giiiert, Nicholas. A dispute between him and John
Mannyon, of Ewelme, respecting the lease of a College
farm, was referred by the Privy Council, when at
Woodstock in September 1577, to arbitrators. Acts of
P. Council, voL ix, 1894, pp. 23, ag.
P. i8r. Bond, Nicholas. Among the books which he gave in 1601
to the Bodleian Library was a fourteenth-century English
Psalter, with a commentary. This was not at once placed
in the Library as it ought to have been, since, some time
after. Sir T. Bodley wrote thus to James the Librarian : —
'Unless you cause D. Bond's manuscript Psalter to be
bound and put in the Library, I will say the fault is yours.

266 ADDENDA.
For I know he wants bat a remembrancer.' (Heame's
ReUquiat Bodleianae, p. 238.) It seems that the book must
be the one now numbered Bodley MS, 288; for in the
Catalogue printed in 1605 this MS. has no nmnbei
attached, but shortly after it was marked as ' W. 3. 5 ' ;
its binding is plain rough calf, and a binder's parchment
end-leaf is a part of a lease dated 1606, which shows that
it was not bound till after that dale. Another fly-leaf,
placed up^de down, has an inscription recording that it
was ' the guift of Sir James Lee,' Solicitor to the Court of
Wards; but this may refer to the source whence Bond
obtained the book, or may even have been a leaf out of
some other volume altogether. The name of Sir James
I^ee himself is nowhere recorded as that of a donor to the
Bodleian Library.
P. 187. Trovers, John. He appeared before the Privy Council on
33 Oct igT^, in accordance with some order; but the
cause and consequence of his appearance are not specified.
Acts of P. C, vol X, 1895, p. 354. His having become
vicar of Landrake in Cornwall in 1601 may render it likely
that he was the John Travera described as ' of Devon' who
was a donor to the Bodleian in that year.
P. 188. Barebont, Jofm. Two sermons by him, on Ps. 1. 16 and
Prov. X. I, preached by him at All Saints' Church, Oxford,
are in Rawlinson MS, D. 373, ff. 362, 38a.
P. 189. Dropt, Thomas. Lines by him are in Justa fitmhria
Tho. Bodkii, p. 90.

them bookes, which I will to be delyvered to Mr. Roger
IngsfoTsbye {sic) and his brother to distribute the same '
(Reg. Tirubhite, f. 33; tx inform. Mr. J, Challenor Smith.)
P. 147, M^a. Siofuhouse, Walter. In 1631 he gave to die Bodleian
Library the original MS. of the Statutes of Eynsham Abbey,
near Oxford, now numbered Bodl. MS. 435.
P. 190, supra. Cox, William. Lines by him are in EpieeMa in oi.

the setting up of the panelling, and its decoration. See
